(BENTON)  – Saline County District Judge Stephanie Casady announced today that she is running for the Court of Appeals position being vacated by Judge Larry Vaught, who is retiring December 31, 2022. The position covers Perry, Pulaski, and Saline Counties.  The election will be held on May 24, 2022.

Judge Casady said, “I am grateful that the voters have elected me three times as their judge. I have made thousands of decisions that impact the lives of our citizens and their families. I have tried thousands of cases, both civil and criminal, the same types of cases that Judge Vaught presided over before he was elected to the Court of Appeals.”

Judge Casady is the second longest serving judge in Saline County. She was first elected in 2012 and was the first female state court judge elected in Saline County history. Judge Casady served as the President of the Arkansas District Judges Council, and was recognized by her fellow jurists with an award for outstanding service.
