DANVILLE, AR — Brent Montgomery, Yell County Justice of the Peace, announced today his candidacy for Arkansas House District 52, which includes Scott and Yell Counties and a portion of Sebastian County.
“After much prayer and discussion with my family and friends, I am excited to announce my campaign for the Arkansas State House,” said Montgomery. “As a Justice of the Peace for Yell County, every action I have taken while in public service has been based upon the conservative principle that government must always live within its means. As a small business owner and cattle farmer, I know firsthand the burdensome government regulations that too often choke the success of local businesses. State House District 52 needs a State Representative who will fight for our local communities and rural Arkansans at the Arkansas State Capitol.”
Upon announcing his candidacy, Montgomery also said, “The people of District 52 deserve a proven and experienced state representative—someone who is Christian first, conservative second, and Republican third. This order has guided my life. I will always protect the sanctity of human life, uphold our constitutional right to keep and bear arms, fight to support our rural schools, and defend the values that define our faith and community. I humbly ask for the support and votes of the people of District 52 in the Republican Primary on March 3, 2026. I pledge to remain accessible and accountable only to you, not the special interests in Little Rock.”
