“I have known Brandon Carter professionally for more than twenty years.

As a prosecutor, his reputation for responsiveness, sound decision making, and clear, concise communication is second to no other. I am confident in my support of Brandon Carter as a Court of Appeals Judge and of the high level of commitment he will bring to the position.”

– Jon Simpson
Bentonville Chief of Police (retired)

“Brandon Carter served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Benton County during my tenure as Prosecuting Attorney. During that time, Brandon successfully prosecuted numerous complex and serious criminal cases. His meticulous preparation, legal knowledge and personal integrity earned him the high respect of his colleagues, the law enforcement community, and the judges in whose courts he practiced.  I later worked again with Brandon at the United State Attorney’s Office, where I saw those same qualities in action at the federal level, including successfully representing the interests of the United States before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on several occasions. Simply stated, Brandon Carter is the best-qualified candidate for the Arkansas Court of Appeals.”
