"I am proud to endorse Ashleigh for Circuit Court Judge. If you want to understand who Ashleigh truly is, look no further than how she serves Sebastian County. You will find her feeding the hungry, clothing those in need, supporting our veterans, and standing alongside our fire, police, EMS, and other first responders. Her commitment to this community is not performative— it is consistent, personal, and deeply rooted. Ashleigh is actively engaged in her church and is an incredible, devoted mother. She understands leadership not as a position of power, but as a responsibility to serve others with integrity, compassion, and accountability. She doesn't just know how to lead-she knows her community. Ashleigh listens, shows up, and seeks justice for all, not just for some. Her character, experience, and heart for Sebastian County are exactly what we need on the bench. Sebastian County deserves a judge who understands both the law and the people it serves. Ashleigh is that"

"I'm proud to support Ashleigh Buckley for Circuit Court Judge in Sebastian County. I had the privilege of working closely with Ashleigh when she was a Deputy Prosecutor and I was a Special Investigations Unit Detective. We worked many difficult cases together, including cases focused on bringing child predators to justice. In those moments, I saw firsthand her dedication, strength, and deep commitment to doing what was right. Those cases weren't easy, but Ashleigh always came prepared, cared deeply about protecting victims, and treated everyone involved with fairness and respect. That's exactly the kind of judgment and integrity ! want to see on the bench. Sebastian County deserves a Circuit Judge who understands the real impact of the law on people and families. I believe Ashleigh Buckley is the right choice, and I'm proud to stand behind her."

"I have been lucky to witness Ashleigh Buckley in various roles throughout our friendship and careers and cannot think of a better candidate for this position. I have worked with Ashleigh as prosecutors for Sebastian County, sought advice from her on legal analysis and case management, and watched her build and grow a successful law firm, all while volunteering her time and talents to being plugged into almost every aspect of the local community. Ashleigh is incredibly smart. If I have a complex legal question, she's my first call. She knows the law and is a brilliant legal writer. Ashleigh is fierce in the courtroom and has a great deal of experience handling jury and bench trials which have prepared her to serve as Judge. Ashleigh is thorough and literally everything she does, on non-profit boards, with local organizations and as co-workers. If Ashleigh is doing it, you know it will be done well and done right; that's just who she is and she doesn't waiver. Above all, Ashleigh is a genuinely good person.
