# Tina Ward Tina Ward is the Justice of the Peace representing District 9 on the Pulaski County Quorum Court. She began serving in 2025; 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)). District 9 is particularly load-bearing for the data-center corpus: it includes the Little Rock Port — site of the [[Willowbend Capital, LLC|Willowbend / Project Boar]] hyperscale data-center project — and the Airport area; constituents in District 9 sit closest to the second of the two Pulaski County hyperscale developments (the first being [[AVAIO Digital Partners|AVAIO]]'s Project Leo in the unincorporated south-county area). ## Role and affiliations - **Justice of the Peace, Pulaski County Quorum Court, District 9.** Current term: 2025-01-01 through 2026-12-31. - **Committee assignment:** Agenda Committee. - **Service-start year:** 2025 (first term). - **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:** `501-830-7540`. - **Mailing address:** Pulaski County Quorum Court, 201 S. Broadway, Suite 410, Little Rock, AR 72203. ## Data center positions - **Co-sponsor of the data-center moratorium ordinance (Tier-1).** Ward is a sponsor of the moratorium ordinance, Item **26-I-37**, with [[Rebekah L. Davis|Davis]] — *"a proposed ordinance sponsored by Justices Davis and Ward,"* per Parliamentarian [[Justin Blagg]]'s 2026-05-19 packet memo ([[May 2026 Quorum Court Agenda Packet]]); the consolidated 26-I-37A lists Davis, Ward, [[Julie Blackwood|Blackwood]] ([[Data Center Moratorium Ordinance 26-I-37A and the Grandfather Amendment]]). Ward also separately sponsored resolution 26-I-36 (an ARDOT highway-transfer partnership) at the same meeting. - **2026-05-26 vote:** Ward'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] > Ward'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 *sponsorship* of the ordinance is Tier-1. Note the moratorium covered unincorporated Pulaski County only — it would not have applied to the [[Willowbend Capital, LLC|Project Boar]] site, which sits inside incorporated Little Rock at the Port within her district. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Data Center Moratorium Ordinance 26-I-37A and the Grandfather Amendment]] — co-sponsor (with Davis) of the moratorium ordinance. - [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Vote on Data Center Moratorium]] — sponsor; sitting JP at the 2026-05-26 meeting. - [[Pulaski County Quorum Court Directory]] — directory landing page. - [[The Port of Little Rock Data Center]] — synthesis of the Project Boar / Willowbend Capital corpus; Ward's district contains the project site. ## Notes - District 9 covers, per an uncorroborated neighborhood-level description, "Airport / Port of LR / Faulkner Lake." This is not Tier-2 evidence; the neighborhood-level claim is gap-disclosed pending a Tier-2 source. The Port of Little Rock and the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport are anchor institutions of the district. - Ward took office in 2025, after the 2025-06-24 closing on the Project Boar site (Willowbend Capital LLC acquired ~383.52 acres from the Little Rock Port Authority for $11.5M) but before any operational permitting or construction activity. Whether her institutional engagement with Project Boar has produced any public statements, correspondence with Port Authority Executive Director [[Bryan Day]], or constituent communications is a follow-on FOIA candidate.
