John Burris (born 1985) is a Republican former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives. First elected in 2008, Burris represented District 85, which included Harrison and part of Boone County. In the 2012 election, he was switched to District 98 in Benton County, in which Republican incumbent Donna Hutchinson was term-limited. Burris's work in the legislature earned him a spot in the Arkansas Business Journal's 2009 list of the top "20 in their 20s". His legislative philosophy is: "As a legislator, you can't change the world, but you can help people one at a time."
