Arnold was elected to the state House in 2011 by defeating the Democrat Tommy Dexter Cadle, 3,899 (52.7 percent) to 3,496 (47.3 percent). The seat opened when the incumbent Democrat, W. J. "Billy" McCoy did not seek reelection.[3] In 2007, Arnold was defeated in his own challenge to McCoy.
Arnold serves on these House committees: (1) State Library (chairman), (2) Accountability, Efficiency, and Transparency (3) Appropriations, (4) Banking and Financial .[1] He voted to restrict abortion providers regarding licensing and the detection of fetal heartbeat. He supported the law to ban abortions after twenty weeks of gestation and to permit "wrongful death" lawsuits regarding the loss of the unborn child. In 2017, he voted to authorize additional methods of execution in Mississippi and to classify the killing of first responders as first-degree murder.[4]
