I’m running for Justice of the Peace for district 4 in Carroll County, Arkansas
I served just shy of 8 years as a paratrooper in the US Army, I rose up to the rank of sergeant and have served in many leadership roles around the world from team leader, squad leader, and communications chief. I’ve been responsible for millions of dollars of equipment at a time with zero losses. I also served my community as a deputy and a police officer when I got out of the military.
I plan on standing up to the rest of the JPs, I plan on being the voice of the people in my district. I also have plans for 2 small fire stations, one for Grandview and one for Polo. The majority of funding will come from the SIN Tax (taxes on cigarettes, alcohol, lottery), and donations from around our community. I would also look into grants via Arkansas grantwatch.
