Brilliant. Principled. And compassionate. A mighty champion for justice and equality.

—Joshua I. Harmon
Attorney

Hola. As a Hispanic woman that has been working in North Las Vegas in low-income communities for five years, I feel I belong to the North Las Vegas community. So I wanted to know what Mr. MacArthur stands for as a justice of the peace. If North Las Vegas citizens need to express their issues in the Department 3 court, Jonathan promises to resolve it promptly, professionally and fairly, applying "Equality: every case, every day, everyone." Jonathan is building trust among people and reaching out to citizens that need to know about his commitment. And I am helping the North Las Vegas community learn about him by knocking door-to-door, either providing his literature or convincing their hearts.

I have known Jonathan for many years, and what has impressed me most about him, aside from his tenacious drive and boundless energy, is his understanding that there are two sides of justice: punishing the guilty and protecting the innocent. He recognizes that just as society has an obligation to protect its citizens from crime, so too must it ensure that the accused receive due process. It is this understanding, I believe, that is the defining characteristic of a fair and impartial judge. I have no doubt that if Jonathan is elected to the bench he will fairly treat all those who appear before him. I fully support his candidacy and look forward to him serving the residents of North Las Vegas for many years to come.

I am supporting Jonathan MacArthur because I want to see a change in the justice system. I admire Jonathan's pursuit of justice not only in the courtroom but within his everyday life. Jonathan believes in the Constitution and the basic human rights that are so often ignored because of class, race, gender or sexual orientation. I want a J.O.P. who will see everybody as equal. You can't do it when you owe other folks favors and you haven't even put the robe on yet. It's time for a change, and Jonathan will help bring that change to NLV. I know Jonathan personally and he impresses me every time I speak with him. He is the most compassionate person I know.

His experience as a trial lawyer and judge pro tem make him imminently well qualified to serve as justice of the peace.

—Linda McKenzie
Attorney

In the 20+ years that I have known Jonathan, he has always been a champion of fairness. As teens, we would frequently have discussions where he would take an opposing view and play 'devil's advocate' simply so that it would be fair. As children, everyone has uttered the phrase "That's not fair!" and has been told by an adult "That's life." Jonathan has steadfastly refused to believe that life can't be fair, and has dedicated his life to proving it. That is why I believe he will make a good judge.

I have known Jonathan to be an exceptional attorney for years, and I only expect him to be even better as a judge. He has my support during this campaign.

—Shannon Miller
Field Agent, Legal Support Services

I know Jonathan from my days in law school. He is fiercely independent, yet always willing to hear all sides of an argument. He is not a rubber stamp.

—Mark Chaksupa
Former Prosecutor

I met Jonathan about three years ago while helping to campaign for Judge Natalie Tyrrell. Even then, Jonathan showed the ability to communicate with every spectrum of the community with sincerity and understanding. He is honest and outspoken about his views and shows a vast comprehension on issues dealing with people in general, regardless of race, economic status or political affiliation. I served as a civil court clerk in North Las Vegas for almost a decade working under various judges. Jonathan MacArthur exemplifies the same qualities that I admire from those judges: hard workers, self-sacrificing, highly intelligent, and most of all, fair. I fully support Jonathan MacArthur as the next judge elect in North Las Vegas. He is dedicated to his community, passionate about his convictions of fairness and equality, and most importantly, the safety of the citizens of North Las Vegas.

Jonathan is deeply involved in every case he works on. Fairness is very important to him.

—Robin Moore

Jonathan is an attorney committed to equality and justice for everyone. His down-to-earth style and passion for delivering exceptional legal services to his clients are attributes that will make him a great judge.

—F. Travis Buchanan, Esq.
Attorney

As an active and intelligent child, Jonathan kept me on my toes. Now, as an active and intelligent adult, he still keeps me on my toes. I never know what to expect from him. But I know it will be an honest expression of what he believes. Even as a child, Jonathan had compassion and wanted to stand in defense of others, when due. My son is a hard worker and will be an asset to the NLV community if elected to the office of NLV Justice of the Peace, Department 3.

—LaVerne Ligon
County Employee, Proud Mother

I met Jonathan almost a decade ago when we sat for the bar exam together. Since that time, I have become acquainted with Jonathan in several capacities—as a fellow judicial law clerk, as public defenders handling heavy caseloads, and while practicing in the same courts during his time in private practice. Jonathan is simply one of the brightest, hardest-working, and most ethical lawyers I know.

It is so often the case that politics, power and privilege exert undue influence in our court system. Jonathan's personal integrity and passion for the law would ensure that if elected, he will make fair decisions, not decisions based on politics or popularity. I believe Jonathan possesses an inherent and rare quality of being fiercely independent. He would treat all parties fairly—regardless of race, gender, wealth or poverty. He possesses an excellent demeanor for a justice of the peace. He will treat all persons who appear in front of him with respect and dignity.

Over the years, I've heard all kinds of reasons why a particular candidate wants to be a judge, most of them very self-centered reasons. Knowing Jonathan, I am confident he is running this race because he cares about the law, cares about the people in his community, and relishes the chance to be one small part of spreading justice for all.

—Brigid Hoffman

I have known Jonathan for 6+ years. Beyond being an exceptional attorney he is honest, sincere passionate about his beliefs, dedicated to the community and ready to serve. Jonathan is highly qualified. I am proud to call him a friend and he has my firm support.
