Stanley Jason Rapert (born 1972) is an American politician from the state of Arkansas. Rapert has served since 2011 in the Arkansas State Senate.
Rapert was raised in far northeastern Arkansas near the rural community of Supply on a small family farm. He attended school in Maynard in Randolph County and was active in basketball and academics.
In 1990, Rapert married Laurie Ellen Tyler from Pocahontas, the county seat of Randolph County. The couple moved to Conway, where they both attended the University of Central Arkansas, where he majored in Political Science and Sociology. He worked for United Parcel Service while attending college.
Rapert was elected to the Arkansas State Senate, representing the 18th district, in 2010. As a result of decennial redistricting, Rapert ran for reelection in the 35th district in 2012, when he defeated Democrat Linda Tyler. In the general election held on November 4, 2014, Rapert won a four-year term in the state Senate by defeating Democrat Joel Pearson, 13,483 votes (57 percent) to 10,267 (43 percent).
Rapert is a member of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Gideons International, and Rotary International.
In February 2017, Rapert introduced legislation to remove Bill and Hillary Clinton's names from the Clinton National Airport, stating several Arkansans "said they were uncomfortable with the Clinton name."
