2012 Election

When District 13 Representative Clark Hall ran for United States House of Representatives and left the seat open, Hillman was unopposed for the May 22, 2012 Democratic Primary,^[4] and won the November 6, 2012 General election with 4,897 votes (51.1%) against Republican nominee Garland Derden.^[5]

2022 Election

After the Arkansas Legislature changed the Arkansas House of Representatives map due to redistricting as a result of the 2020 US Census, Hillman decided to run as the incumbent Republican representative in the new 61st district (having changed his political identification from Democratic to Republican in 2016). He was defeated in the Republican primary on May 24th by Jeremiah Moore, a real estate broker and political newcomer, 57%-30%.^[6]
