Changes

After White's defeat in 1982, Pollan nominated Morris S. Arnold, her fellow Moderate Republican and a University of Arkansas at Little Rock law professor, to become the new Republican Party state chairman to replace [[Bob Cohee]] of Baxter County. Pollan said that she hoped Arnold could bridge the gap in the Arkansas party between the former Rockefeller partisans, such as herself, and the burgeoning backers of [[Ronald Reagan]],<ref name=pollanencyc/> Arnold, however, did not complete his term as a part-time chairman and was replaced by the first vice-chairman, Robert "Bob" Leslie, a former candidate for Arkansas's 1st congressional district seat.

In her early legislative years, Pollan was frequently one of only a half dozen Republicans among the one hundred House members. Her early [[Republican Party|GOP]] colleagues, all originally from the northwestern part of the state, included Bynum, [[Jim Lee Smithson]] of Marshall in Searcy County, [[C.W. Melson]] of Ozone, Jerry D. King of Greenwood in Sebastian County, and [[Richard Barclay]] of Rogers in Benton County. In the early 1980s, she was a colleague of Republican Judy Petty Wolf from a [[Little Rock]]-based district. Petty waged two publicized congressional campaigns in 1974 and 1984 against Wilbur Daigh Mills (1909-1992) and Tommy F. Robinson, respectively. Pollan won her last election in 1996 without Democratic opposition.
