"I had Professor John Pesek for State and Local Government during law school, right after I’d been appointed to city council. He didn’t just teach the law—he took the time to help me understand what it meant to serve with integrity and purpose. His real-world experience as Rogers City Attorney, his steady guidance, and his genuine care made a lasting impact. I’ve seen how he leads and how he treats people—with fairness, clarity, and respect. John Pesek will make an outstanding judge, and I’m proud to support him."
J.J. Thompson, Rogers Councilman and Attorney
"John Pesek joined the City of Rogers legal team in 2019 while I was serving as Chief of Police. From day one, he impressed me with his deep knowledge of the law, steady demeanor, and practical, problem-solving approach. He was never just a legal advisor—he was a trusted partner in addressing the challenges facing our department. I relied on him regularly to help make critical decisions that impacted public safety, personnel, and the long-term direction of the Rogers Police Department.
Now, as a member of the Rogers City Council, I continue to work with John and rely on his sound legal judgment. He’s consistent, principled, and always focused on doing what’s right for the people we serve. I trust John Pesek without hesitation, and I strongly support him for Circuit Judge, Division 5. He will bring the same dedication and integrity to the bench that he’s shown throughout his service to our city."
Hayes Minor, Former Chief of Police and Current Councilman
"As a kindergarten teacher, I know how important it is to have leaders who truly listen—especially when it comes to the needs of children, families, and schools. John Pesek is one of those leaders. He’s not only an active member of our community but also a devoted father who shows up for his kids and supports their education in every way he can. Whether it's attending school events, engaging with teachers, or lending a helping hand, John is always present and involved.
What stands out most about John is his ability to listen with genuine care. He values what educators bring to the table and understands the challenges we face in the classroom. He’s passionate about ensuring every child in Benton County has access to a quality education, and he respects the role teachers play in shaping that future.
We need judges who are not only fair and knowledgeable—but also compassionate and grounded in the everyday realities of the families they serve. John Pesek brings that perspective. I’m proud to support him for Circuit Judge because I know he’ll lead with heart, wisdom, and a deep respect for our community."
