I’m a big fan of Sheriff Cantrell.”
Gary and Teri Head
Community Leaders – Chairman/CEO at Signature Bank of Arkansas
Growing up I became friends with Jay Cantrell’s son and got to know him and his family very well. As I grew through the years I got to see who Jay Cantrell was and he became a role model I looked up to, someone who was always kind, supportive, a person I could try to be like when I grew up. I’m very proud to say I have been working for him for almost 15 years now in the Detention Center and he still treats me with kindness, fairness, dignity and respect. I believe in you and what you can do for our county.”

Sheriff Cantrell operates an ethical and moral department. He stands tall in the midst of personal attacks and keeps focused on the job he was elected to do. Sheriff Cantrell will have my vote and my support always. He doesn’t turn away from adversity, but meets it face first and meets it without stooping to personal attacks on others. Washington County is in great hands with Sheriff Cantrell.”
