About Carol
Carol Vella is a businesswoman, mother, and community leader running for Justice of the Peace, District 8, in Benton County. In her day job promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion and in her extensive community volunteer work, Carol advocates for those who may not have a seat at the table.
Carol is running because she knows the challenges families face in Bentonville. As a foster parent and refugee co-sponsor, she’s seen how hard it can be to build a life here. As Justice of the Peace, Carol will invest our county budget in areas that will help our residents thrive: affordable housing, childcare, public transportation, healthcare, and much more.
