# Donna Massey Donna Massey is the Justice of the Peace representing District 6 on the Pulaski County Quorum Court and the **Chair of the Quorum Court's Budget Committee**. Her continuous service since 1999 is the longest of any sitting JP; her current term runs from 2025-01-01 through 2026-12-31 (primary public record, [Pulaski County official Quorum Court directory, archived 2026-05-28](../../web%20archive/2026-05-28/pulaskicounty.net/quorum-court.md)). Massey is recorded as having spoken from the floor at the contested 2026-05-26 vote on the proposed twelve-month data-center moratorium, framing the underlying question as one of *"whether we will grow responsibly, equitably and thoughtfully"* (Tier-3 *Arkansas Times*, 2026-05-27, [archive](../../web%20archive/2026-05-28/arktimes.com/2026-05-27-pulaski-county-data-center-moratorium.md)). ## Role and affiliations - **Justice of the Peace, Pulaski County Quorum Court, District 6.** Current term: 2025-01-01 through 2026-12-31. - **Committee assignment:** **Budget Committee — Chair.** The Budget Committee chair holds material agenda-setting authority over the Quorum Court's annual appropriations and is the procedurally relevant entry point for any PILOT, Act 9 industrial-revenue-bond, or appropriation question on data-center incentives. - **Service-start year:** 1999. **Longest tenure of any current JP.** - **Party affiliation:** not publicly disclosed on official sources as of 2026-05-28. - **November 2026 ballot status:** to be verified against Pulaski County Clerk election records. ## Contact - **Email:** `[email protected]` (personal address published by Pulaski County on the official directory). - **Phone:** `501-231-6044`. - **Mailing address:** Pulaski County Quorum Court, 201 S. Broadway, Suite 410, Little Rock, AR 72203. ## Data center positions - **2026-05-26 vote on the data-center moratorium ordinance (26-I-37A):** Donna Massey's recorded roll-call position is not established. The certified records were produced via NextRequest #26-341 on 2026-05-29 (see [[2026-05 Pulaski County Clerk Produces Quorum Court Moratorium Records]]), but the [[Certified Quorum Court Voting Worksheets 2026-05-26|certified voting worksheets]] are handwritten and embody the count the Clerk later disavowed — so no legible per-JP tally exists. Now Tier-1: the moratorium **did not pass** ([[Pulaski County Clerk Statement on the Corrected Moratorium Vote]]); it was sponsored by Justices [[Rebekah L. Davis|Davis]], [[Tina Ward|Ward]], and [[Julie Blackwood|Blackwood]], with the grandfather amendment by [[Phil Stowers|Stowers]]. See [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Vote on Data Center Moratorium]]. - **2026-05-26 floor remarks (paraphrased by *Arkansas Times*):** *"whether we will grow responsibly, equitably and thoughtfully"* — framing the moratorium debate as a question of growth-management posture, not a categorical question about data centers as such. The full text of her remarks is not in the Tier-3 record; the audio/video of the meeting (the Swagit recording produced via #26-341, archived 2026-05-29) would be the dispositive evidence. > [!web-research-unresolved] > District 6 JP Donna Massey's specific vote on 26-I-37A and on the [[Phil Stowers|Stowers]] amendment is not cleanly established: the #26-341 production's certified worksheets are handwritten and reflect the disavowed miscount. A reliable per-JP tally would require the 2026-05-26 meeting video (Swagit link, archived 2026-05-29). ## Appearances in the corpus - [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Vote on Data Center Moratorium]] — sitting JP at the 2026-05-26 meeting; quoted floor remarks recorded. - [[Pulaski County Quorum Court Directory]] — directory landing page. ## Notes - District 6 covers, per an uncorroborated neighborhood-level description, "Downtown / SoMa / Fourche Creek." This is not Tier-2 evidence; the neighborhood-level claim is gap-disclosed pending a Tier-2 source. (Note: the source description contains a "Fource Creek" typo for "Fourche Creek" — the standard spelling of the Pulaski County watershed.) - An uncorroborated report also indicates that the Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority sits in District 6 and is *"pushing hard FOR the data centers."* The LRWRA's institutional posture on data-center cooling-water and effluent matters is corpus-relevant (see also the wiki's [[Willowbend Capital, LLC|Willowbend / Project Boar]] water-and-effluent record) and warrants a follow-on dedicated entity page; the LRWRA is not a stakeholder Massey controls but is a constituent of her district. - Massey's Budget Committee chair role gives her institutional authority that no other sitting JP commands (only [[Curtis A. Keith]] of District 8 holds the parallel Agenda chair). Any PILOT, Act 9 bond, or appropriation question on data-center incentives moves through her committee.
