About Jacci

With 23 years of real estate experience in NWA—and work in major markets like Dallas and Miami—I bring practical knowledge, steady judgment, and long-term perspective to how our county grows.

I’ve spent my career in commercial real estate, helping communities grow and managing the real-world impacts of development.

That experience has taught me:

How growth actually happens
How decisions made today affect families years from now
Why fiscal responsibility and long-term planning matter

I will bring that same measured, practical approach to county decision-making.

Why I'm Running

I’m running because how we grow matters—to our land, our economy, and our quality of life.

I believe we can move forward without losing what makes Northwest Arkansas special. Growth should be responsible, thoughtful, and respectful of the people and places that make this community home.
