MEET THE CANDIDATE:
Alex Thomas-Justice of the Peace District 2
Alex Thomas is a lifelong West Memphis resident, educator, and advocate running for Justice of the Peace, District 2.
A proud graduate of West Memphis High School and the West Memphis School District, Alex earned her bachelor’s degree in history with an emphasis in Minority and African American Studies from the University of Arkansas and later completed her Master of Arts in Teaching at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. She is a fully licensed Special Education teacher and has spent her career working directly with students and families in Crittenden County.
In the classroom, Alex manages programs, builds school-based enterprises, works with budgets, collaborates with families, and navigates complex systems to make sure students receive the support they need. She understands how policy decisions affect real people because she sees it every day. The same problem-solving, accountability, and communication skills she uses as an educator are the skills she will bring to the Quorum Court.
Alex believes county government should be clear, honest, and accessible. She supports responsible budgeting, transparent decision-making, stronger infrastructure, safer neighborhoods, and better access to local services. She is committed to working toward a long-term, county-level solution for animal control that protects both residents and animals.
Her values are simple and steady.
Honesty. Accountability. Service. Accessibility. Humility. Consistency.
Alex believes public office is not about holding a title. It is about showing up prepared, studying the issues, answering questions, and respecting taxpayer dollars. It is about listening to residents and making decisions that strengthen families and neighborhoods.
District 2 deserves a representative who works hard, communicates clearly, and puts people first.
On November 3, vote Alex Thomas for Justice of the Peace, District 2.
