03/06/2026

Good evening everyone. I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for the phone calls, text, visits, and all the support received after Tuesday night.

I truly have the best friends and family in the world! One thing I did win during this election is many new friendships! I’m so thankful for those! I meant what I said on your door step, my number is on the card, if I can help, give me a call.

This will still be a big year for my family and I. My beautiful wife will graduate this May, and become the best Nurse Practitioner ever. Her heart for caring for people is second to none! Our oldest daughter will also graduate on the same day,with her mother, with her Masters degree also and will start a rewarding career! My son is excelling in the fire service and serving the citizens of Camden as a firefighter/EMT! Figure he will also be in a patrol car one day soon too! Our youngest is excelling in school and is quite the little rising Broadway star!

We have raised our kids to be top notch citizens of this county, and they are proving it!

For me I will continue to serve in all my hats. It’s all I want to do!

Continue to hold your head high with me, and we will see if the good Lord might lead me back to another run for Sheriff in 2030…..

Thank you all again!!

I’m so thankful for my wonderful kids and all the help they have given me during this campaign I could not have done this without my beautiful wife, my kids and the rest of my family! My daughters are in Stephens hanging out at the polls there my son will join us at one of the locations when he gets off work.

Remember to please ask for the REPUBLICAN ballot today. You will not get to vote for sheriff on any other ballot.

They are not asking how you vote. They are only asking which ballot you would like to have today.

If you normally vote in the Democratic or independent ballot, please today,  ask for the Republican ballot.

Good morning! We are in the eve of primary Election Day and we have our foot on the gas!

Yesterday was another amazing day in the campaign trail. We spoke to the Sunday School class at New Scott’s Temple in Bragg City. We met some amazing people and I was allowed to speak to the group about my vision and plans for the Ouachita County Sheriffs Office.

My daughters and i also attended service at Greater Saint Paul Baptist Church in Camden and listened to a wonderful message delivered by Dr. Franklin. We were welcomed by the church congregation where we were able to meet and introduce myself to many great people! It was a honor to meet Dr. Franklin and first lady Franklin after the service. 

I also had to go fight some fire with some of the greatest guys around with the CFD.

Then I ended the day with some more door, knocking out on the campaign trail, where I was invited in by many and delivered my message on the plans and ideas for YOUR Sheriffs Office !

I will spend this last day before primary election day again on the campaign trail trying to reach a few more voters.

If you haven’t voted and don’t have a way to get to the polls, please message me on here and we will ensure that you make it to the polls. Please do not sit this election out, every single vote matters and I would be so humbled to receive yours.  remember you must ask for the Republican ballot.

I am so thankful for each and everyone of my supporters, and I am excited about what the future holds!

Thank you!

Jarrod
