I know a little bit about leadership. As a former Adjutant General and Secretary of the Military I can say with certainty that Judge Sarah Capp is an incredible seasoned leader. When I think of Sarah Capp, I think of a judicial leader who is a selfless servant. I had the honor of following Judge Capp in the Arkansas House of Representatives where she served for two terms. Her impact as a highly effective legislator is still felt in the laws of our state. She has courage with mental and moral strength to make difficult decisions while being faithful and devoted to the rule of law. We need more Judges like Sarah Capp and we need Judge Capp on the Arkansas Court of Appeals.

I’ve had the opportunity to observe Judge Capp both personally and professionally over the years. I’ve coached her child in baseball and watched her bring her work to the games while still being fully present and committed as a mother. The way she balances a demanding career with her dedication to her family is something I’ve always admired.
With 17 years of experience in law enforcement and extensive time testifying in municipal, circuit, and federal courts, I’ve appeared before many judges. Judge Capp consistently demonstrates fairness, impartiality, and sound judgment from the bench. She applies the law with integrity, listens carefully to all sides, and ensures that every person in her courtroom is treated with dignity and respect. Her work ethic, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to both her judicial responsibilities and her family make her an outstanding public servant.

Fmr. Judge Chuck Baker
I’ve known Judge Capp since her time as a State Representative and have always been impressed by her concern and commitment to families and those who are suffering. This commitment has carried over to her time as a State District Court Judge.
Sarah has been innovative in her approach to those involved in our Justice system. She ensures that victims are protected and has created a program where offenders can change their lives to reduce recidivism. Offenders are sometimes ordered to complete their education, complete drug or alcohol treatment and gain employment. Judge Capp’s approach has been recognized and duplicated statewide because of its success.
Judge Capp has the education, experience and temperament to be an outstanding Court of Appeals Judge. She is committed to following the law and protecting the people of our State. It is an honor to recommend Judge Sarah Capp for the Arkansas Court of Appeals.

I am a retired teacher who taught at Alma High School in Crawford County for 35 years. One of the primary responsibilities of a teacher is to help students gain independence and accept accountability. It seems that the goals of teachers and those of judges align as both endeavor to educate, inspire, and model respect for rules. As a long-time friend of Sarah Capp, I can assure the voters that she is a judge who uses her position to teach. Her compassion, sense of fairness and commitment to the law have made a lasting impact on the population she serves. Sarah will exemplify the integrity, courage and confidence that serving as judge in this court requires.
Kerry Bewley
In the time I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Judge Sarah Capp, I’ve witnessed her deep commitment to offering second chances—both on and off the bench. Her partnership has been instrumental in our efforts to bring hope and stability to families and individuals in crisis throughout Johnson and Franklin Counties. Judge Capp brings a rare combination of judicial wisdom and genuine compassion, and I am confident that her strong sense of justice and unwavering dedication to serving vulnerable populations will make her an outstanding addition to the Arkansas Court of Appeals.
Mayor David Rieder, Clarksville, AR
Judge Capp once stated "Everyone that walks into a courtroom has a backstory," and "Sometimes, we have to meet people where they are and propose solutions that empower them to change their stories. We owe it to our community to look for creative ways to put a stop to the rise in violent crime and drug abuse."
Judge Capp continues to live by those words and upholds her promises as evidence by her efforts in the Smart Justice Court Initiative. She has proven to be a person of character and honor and true to her words. She has streamlined the Districts judicial process, making an often confusing and difficult process much easier on the citizens she serves and the municipal organizations she supports. Judge Capp is a proven judicial official with a servant’s heart. We are fortunate to have a judicial official of her character on the bench.

Deputy Brent Scott
One of my first memories of Judge Capp was during her campaign for the position of District Court Judge. She came to the sheriff's office to speak to our administration about her goals and ambitions. She had big ideas. She wanted to change many things about how the court operated. I was skeptical about whether that could be accomplished. Yet, my biggest concern was if she could be impartial. I knew of her history as a defense attorney. I asked her directly, "Are you going to simply be another defense attorney, just seated on the bench, or will you be fair to law enforcement too?". She assured me that she would always be fair in how she ruled. Since that time, she has proven her early promise was true. I repeatedly watched her carefully weigh the evidence in each case, then rule according to its merit.
I was lucky enough to serve as her bailiff on many occasions. This experience is uniquely different than being in her court to testify in a case. As a bailiff, I was able to see her genuine concern for the individuals in her court. I observed her begin to implent alternative sentencing and incorporate different outside support organizations who could aid the people who'd found themselves in the vicious cycle which so many defendants find themselves in. Even as a deputy sheriff, I could recognize the benefits that such new options afforded.
These changes weren't always initially well-received by other agencies or departments. In many cases, her changes were met with outright obstruction. In spite of this, she always strived to win over her doubters with a professional demeanor, and whenever possible, a smile. During her tenure as District Judge, she has completely redefined how I viewed the operation of district court. I also watched her slowly win over the support of her other doubters who said, "We've never done it that way before".
Now, as a candidate for the Court of Appeals, I'm excited about her bringing this same optimistic and determined mindset to the bench of the higher court. She is exactly what the State of Arkansas needs. The people would be well served by Judge Capp. She will have my vote, and just as importantly, my confidence.

Karissa Maxwell
I can’t say enough about Judge Sarah Capp—she is truly amazing. Nobody wants to be in court, but when life brings you there, having someone like her on the bench makes all the difference. I watched her interact with each person, and it was clear she genuinely wanted to help. She was fair, compassionate, and treated everyone with dignity and respect.
Even though I haven’t been in many courtrooms, I was struck by her ability to be both stern and kind—firm in her expectations, but fair to every individual. The way she balanced her role while showing such care for those before her was inspiring.
She worked with everyone, and that meant a lot. In a world where some don’t take the time to understand, she stood out. To me, Judge Capp is the very definition of justice and honor. I truly hope this election turns out in her favor—our courts need more people like her.

As an aspiring attorney, observing Judge Capp run her courtroom has been an incredibly eye-opening experience. Her command of the law, balanced with compassion and fairness, sets a powerful example of what it means to serve justice with integrity. Judge Capp’s ability to maintain order while giving every party the respect and attention they deserve is both inspiring and instructive.

This experience has deepened my understanding of the judicial process and reaffirmed my commitment to pursuing a career in law. Judge Capp has shown me what it looks like to lead with both strength and grace.
Ernie Witt
I’ve known Judge Capp since her entrance into the legal profession. She has been my adversary as well as my work mate. In all instances, she exemplified all that’s good in our profession. As a public defender in Circuit Court and Juvenile Court none has performed better. As my state representative, her services were valuable to Franklin County as well as the State of Arkansas. Sarah’s service as a District Judge is exemplary. In deciding cases with conflicting positions, she is always fair and objective. Her knowledge of the law and its application is seldom challenged. The programs she has instilled in her District Court serves all regardless of income or status. She is well qualified to serve on the Arkansas Court of Appeals.
Mayor Roxie Hall, Ozark, AR
I have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the kind of leader Sarah Capp is—one who believes in second chances for everyone, genuinely cares about making a lasting difference in lives and communities, and treats every person with dignity and respect. She is thoughtful in hard decisions, but always seeking to understand the full picture before acting. Sarah works collaboratively with all involved to support individual success and is consistent in her work. Her commitment is not just professional—it’s deeply personal, and that is what makes her leadership so impactful. I wholeheartedly believe Sarah is exactly the kind of leader to lead well in this position—the one who will lead with integrity, compassion, and a relentless drive to see people and communities thrive. I am truly honored to support her run for Arkansas Court of Appeals.
Devin Bramlett, Chief of Police
I have served in law enforcement for over 20 years and have worked with several judges. Judge Capp is honest and hard working. She has experience on both sides of the bench as a defense attorney and a district judge. She is fair to all parties involved in both the “spirit of the law” and the “letter of the law”. Judge Capp has brought new innovative ideas and programs to her district through education, support services, and alternative sentencing. She blends legal experience and community engagement to steer Arkansas courts toward rehabilitation, not just retribution.

Her work ethic is unmatched. Judge Capp has an extraordinary ability to balance her responsibilities to her family, her career, her community, her State, and anything she does. I have witnessed Judge Capp intently listen to people, as she looks them in the eye, and show such genuine care for anyone who came before her- a rare quality in any profession, but one that is most essential for a judge.
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit in her courtroom and witness first hand her conduct from the bench. I was deeply impressed. She listened to every plea that came before her with fairness, patience, and compassion. Before making a decision, she carefully considered all aspects of the case. Judge Capp treated each person as an individual rather than a case number, focusing not only on justice, but also on rehabilitation, education and second chances. She offered many resources and tools to help aid in positive personal growth.
Her courtroom was marked by respect for attorneys, law enforcement officers, court staff, and every individual present. Her knowledge of the law was impeccable, and she handled a large docket with efficiency, grace, and professionalism. She demonstrated a commitment to using taxpayers’ resources wisely, avoiding unnecessary delays and ensuring that justice was carried out promptly and fairly.
