# Julie Blackwood Julie Blackwood is the Justice of the Peace representing District 4 on the Pulaski County Quorum Court. She has served since 2007 — the longest tenure of any current JP after [[Donna Massey]] (since 1999). Her current term runs from 2025-01-01 through 2026-12-31. She sits on the Quorum Court's Agenda Committee (primary public record, [Pulaski County official Quorum Court directory, archived 2026-05-28](../../web%20archive/2026-05-28/pulaskicounty.net/quorum-court.md)). Blackwood is one of only two JPs whose official Quorum Court email is the institutional `@pulaskicounty.net` address (the other is [[Luke McCoy]] of District 12); the remaining 13 JPs publish personal-domain addresses on the official directory. ## Role and affiliations - **Justice of the Peace, Pulaski County Quorum Court, District 4.** Current term: 2025-01-01 through 2026-12-31. - **Committee assignment:** Agenda Committee. - **Service-start year:** 2007 (continuous; second-longest current tenure). - **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 (institutional):** `[email protected]`. Blackwood is one of two current JPs whose official email is the county-institutional address rather than a personal-domain address. - **Phone:** `501-425-2321`. - **Mailing address:** Pulaski County Quorum Court, 201 S. Broadway, Suite 410, Little Rock, AR 72203. ## Data center positions - **Co-sponsor of the amended data-center moratorium ordinance (Tier-1).** The consolidated amended ordinance **"26-I-37A"** lists its sponsors as **Justices Davis, Ward, Blackwood** ([[Data Center Moratorium Ordinance 26-I-37A and the Grandfather Amendment]]). Blackwood is not named on the base "26-I-37" text in the [[May 2026 Quorum Court Agenda Packet|packet]] (sponsored by [[Rebekah L. Davis|Davis]] and [[Tina Ward|Ward]]); she appears as a third sponsor on the post-amendment version — consistent with Parliamentarian [[Justin Blagg]]'s packet note that *"a few sponsors who signed on to ordinances are not reflected on the items in the packet but will be on the agenda."* This resolves, in the affirmative, the question this page previously flagged as open. - **2026-05-26 vote:** Blackwood's specific recorded vote is not independently established (the certified worksheets embody the disavowed miscount; see [[Certified Quorum Court Voting Worksheets 2026-05-26]]). As a sponsor she is a presumptive "aye," but the wiki does not assert a vote the certified record does not cleanly show. > [!web-research-unresolved] > Blackwood's specific roll-call vote on 26-I-37A and on the [[Phil Stowers|Stowers]] amendment is not cleanly established (handwritten worksheets, disavowed miscount); a reliable per-JP corrected tally would require the 2026-05-26 meeting video (Swagit link, archived 2026-05-29). Her *co-sponsorship* of the amended ordinance is Tier-1. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Data Center Moratorium Ordinance 26-I-37A and the Grandfather Amendment]] — third sponsor on the amended 26-I-37A. - [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Vote on Data Center Moratorium]] — co-sponsor; sitting JP at the 2026-05-26 meeting. - [[Pulaski County Quorum Court Directory]] — directory landing page. ## Notes - District 4 covers, per an uncorroborated neighborhood-level description, "Midtown / Heights / Hillcrest." This is not Tier-2 evidence; the neighborhood-level claim is gap-disclosed pending a Tier-2 source. The Midtown / Heights / Hillcrest corridor includes the densest concentration of pre-WWII single-family-residential housing stock in Little Rock, which is procedurally relevant for any future moratorium-area mapping.
