Kenneth Wayne Bragg (born August 7, 1950)[1] is an American politician in Arkansas. He served from January 2013 to January 2023 as a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for District 15 in Grant County, a traditional Democratic stronghold. In 2015, his colleagues named him the House Majority Leader, a position he held for two years.

Bragg is a former member of the city council in Sheridan. He is Southern Baptist.[2]

Bragg is the son of the former Eula Mae Harrington and Lawrence C. Bragg, a sergeant in World War II; the couple lived in Port Arthur, Texas.[3] In 1972, Bragg received a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Since that time he has been employed in the forestry industry, including a 25-year commitment to International Paper Company. In 2006, he joined Resource Management Service, in which capacity he oversees forest management activities on 300,000 acres (120,000 ha) in Arkansas. He is a member of the executive committee of the Arkansas Forestry Association.[4]

In 2013, the Arkansas Timber Producers Association named Bragg "Legislator of the Year" for his sponsorship of legislation to eliminate the sales tax on forestry equipment, a move which the association contends will make the timber industry more competitive with its counterparts in surrounding states.[5] His Facebook page shows his political views as conservative.

Bragg and his wife, Beverly J. Bragg, originally from Port Arthur, Texas, have a son, Aaron Christopher Bragg (born 1977), a Certified Public Accountant in Little Rock, who in 2013 wed the assistant U.S. attorney Allison Courtney Waldrip.[3] The Braggs also have a daughter.
