# Kurt Underwood
Auditor's-office staff member. Email
[email protected]. Office at 230 State Capitol, Little Rock, AR 72201. Office phone 501-781-0371, cell 501-681-7412. Underwood is the Auditor's-office video producer working under Stacy Peterson's direction. He produced the 10/7/2024 "I stand with Israel" YouTube video posted at https://youtu.be/oPGl3ir_Bn4 the day of the Capitol Rotunda Christian-Jewish solidarity press conference, and he produced the 5/15/2025 "SFOF Clips" YouTube video at https://youtu.be/hQQ213tI5pw following Milligan's 4/24/2025 SFOF Spring National Meeting speech. He hosted the 4/16/2025 9:00-10:00 AM session in his office in which Milligan recorded a video for SFOF, with Peterson organizing.
## October 2024 Israel Solidarity video production
On 10/7/2024 at 2:56 PM Underwood shared a Google Drive folder titled "STAND WITH ISRAEL DRAFTS" with Peterson, soliciting her contributions to the Israel video drafts ahead of the 10/7 Capitol Rotunda event. Peterson replied at 3:18 PM with an attached Act 644 PDF for b-roll integration and at 3:21 PM with video editing direction including New York Times October 7 live blog and Associated Press anniversary article photo links for the b-roll over Milligan's "reference toward his Jewish friends at 1:20ish." Underwood emailed Peterson the finished YouTube link at 3:44 PM. The video was therefore produced and publicly posted on October 7, 2024 itself. See [[october-2024-israel-solidarity-operation]] for the broader campaign chronology.
The Auditor's-office YouTube channel is the institutional host for both the 10/7 "I stand with Israel" video and the 5/15 "SFOF Clips" video, indicating the Auditor's office maintains a public-facing video presence that Underwood produces.
## SFOF Spring video session
On 4/16/2025 9:00-10:00 AM Peterson organized a video recording session in Underwood's office with Milligan as mandatory participant. The session occurred six days before the SFOF Spring National Meeting opened. The substantive content of the recorded video is not separately documented; the timing positions it as plausibly intended for SFOF promotional use.
## What the materials do not establish
Underwood's specific job title within the Auditor's office; the institutional structure of the Auditor's office video production capability (in-house equipment, vendor, or hybrid); whether Underwood's video production is generally available to other Arkansas state offices or is exclusive to the Auditor.

## Auditor R3 3-3-26 production: operational FOIA handler with Peterson
The Auditor R3 production at [[auditor-foia-r3-3-3-26]] documents Underwood's expanded operational role beyond video production into Auditor's-office FOIA handling. Peterson's 6/19/2025 3:58 PM reply to Brady and TJ Fowler asked: *"TJ, is this something you want me and Kurt to handle?"* — pairing Underwood as Peterson's documented operational partner on the second Lenow ATRS Board canvass response and the Joshua Dunlap 6/22 primary FOIA submission to the Auditor's office.
Underwood's video production role established by the wiki ([[october-2024-israel-solidarity-operation]] 10/7/2024 "I stand with Israel" YouTube video, the 4/16/2025 SFOF video recording session) is now supplemented by FOIA-response operational handling. The pairing operates inside the formal-authority structure under General Counsel TJ Fowler at [[tj-fowler]]. Peterson and Underwood ran the operational FOIA response during Fowler's June 16-20, 2025 leave week.
