Campaign Endorsements
Joseph Wood, Washington County Judge
"Washington County, I support Justice the Peace Patrick Deakins for County Judge. Why? Deakins' focus on fiscal responsibility, public safety, and county infrastructure are reasons I endorse him. Deakins has worked to make Washington County better for her citizens and to be a beacon in the State of Arkansas. Elect Justice of the Peace - Patrick Deakins for a stronger Washington County!"
Tim Helder, Washington County Sheriff
"Patrick is a law and order guy, he understands and supports law enforcement efforts to keep our county safe. He's also the only candidate who understands how vital the detention center is to the entire criminal justice system. He's the leader Washington County needs moving forward!"
Lance Johnson, Justice of the Peace – District #1 and 30-year Small Business Owner
“After serving as Justice of the Peace with Patrick, I am convinced he should be our next County Judge. He always does his homework, is always prepared, and always presents himself in a professional manner.”
Sam Duncan, Washington County Justice of the Peace – District #7 and County Services Chairman
"I've had the opportunity to serve alongside Justice Deakins on the Quorum Court going on four years now. In that time, I've seen his strong conservative leadership in action. As Chairman of the budget and finance committee, Justice Deakins has worked tirelessly to eliminate unnecessary Government spending, fought to reduce taxes, and support law enforcement and first responders. Not only has Justice Deakins fought for law enforcement and lower taxes, but more importantly for the rights of the unborn as he brought forth the Resolution declaring Washington County a Pro-Life County. With Justice Deakins, you can be confident our county is in the best hands. I'm proud to give Deakins my endorsement and vote for Washington County Judge!"
Gary Hull, Nob Hill Fire Department Chief, 45 years serving as a First Responder
"Patrick has been a friend for a number of years and I have seen him effectively serve his neighbors as Justice of the Peace. I know he has a heart for service and that he fully supports rural fire departments and first responders. That's why I fully support Patrick being our next Washington County Judge."
Gun Owners of Arkansas (GO-AR)
“GO-AR doesn't have the time nor resources and knowledge to vet very many Candidates at the County level however, that being said in the Washington County Judge race we do. Patrick is the real deal and committed to the ideals the Founders of this Nation envisioned, so with all that being said it's a no brainer that GO-AR would whole heartily endorse Patrick Deakins for Washington County Judge.”
Shannon Marti, Washington County Justice of the Peace for District #2
"I took an oath to protect the Constitution. Patrick Deakins has and will keep doing the same for Washington County Arkansas. I give my blessing to Patrick and Alisha Deakins and his Family to become the next Washington County Judge of Arkansas."
Sean Simons, Washington County Justice of the Peace, District #3
“During my time on the Quorum Court, Washington County has faced unprecedented challenges. JP Deakins has been a driving force in responding to those challenges through a logical and fiscally responsible approach. He's invested time to meet with department heads and staff to hear the real needs of the county. As the chairman of the Finance & Budget Committee, he worked proactively to revamp the budget process and streamline its adoption. He's fought to put county employees first, recognizing they are our greatest asset. JP Deakins has faithfully served Washington County on the Quorum Court and I believe he will continue to do so as YOUR County Judge!”
