About

Rooted in Little Rock, Arkansas, James French Hill has served the 2nd Congressional District since 2015. A banker and businessman before entering politics, Rep. Hill sits on the House Financial Services Committee and has championed rural economic development across central Arkansas.

On his Kitchen Cred episode, Hill tackled a full Arkansas Buffalo Ribs plate while fielding unscripted questions on education funding, infrastructure, and the economy — 30 minutes on the clock, no notes, no handlers.

His philosophy in the kitchen mirrors his approach to policy: keep the heat consistent, stay focused, and don't rush what takes time to do right.
