The most important part of this office is the position on the Quorum Court. Providing a voice for District 5 on county policy and budget items directly affects the quality of life of each resident.
My wife and I own and operate Quest Research Inc servicing every county in Arkansas. We purchased Quest in 2013. Decision making is not new to me. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications with a double minor in Management and Marketing from Angelo State University in San Angelo, TX. I am a Deacon at New Life Baptist Church.
First and foremost I will say that the Quorum Court has, in my opinion, done a fabulous job thus far. I am especially proud of our previous JP, Justin Rue. I will be continuing in his footsteps with common sense conservative leadership. I think that the continued growth of Saline County will come with new challenges that must be prudently handled. Growth is great, but it needs to be executed and supported correctly or we will stifle growth and hinder the enjoyment of living here.
