Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Quincy W. McKinney was raised on a cattle farm in Mt. Vernon, Arkansas, as the oldest of seven children. From an early age, he learned the values of hard work, faith, integrity, and service that continue to guide him.

While attending the University of Central Arkansas and later the University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law, Quincy worked construction to support his growing family, gaining appreciation for the challenges many Arkansas families face.

Quincy and his wife, Amy, have been married 27 years and have raised their seven children in Faulkner County.

For 17 years, Quincy has practiced law at McKinney & McKinney, PLLC, representing clients in family law, adoptions, custody, divorce, juvenile, probate, DHS, criminal matters, civil litigation, and jury trials. He has seen firsthand the impact judicial decisions have on individuals and families.

He has served as president of Milestones / Faulkner County Day School, a nonprofit serving individuals with developmental disabilities; was a founding board member of STOP DV, which supports victims of domestic violence; and was appointed by Governor Asa Hutchinson to the Arkansas Public Defender Commission.

He believes courts require steady judgment, fairness, and respect for the Constitution and the rule of law.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Quincy believes a judge’s highest duty is to uphold the Constitution. He believes courts must exercise restraint, never legislate from the bench, and remain faithful to the framework established by our nation’s Founding Fathers — a system designed to limit government power and preserve liberty through separation of powers and the rule of law. The integrity of the judicial system depends on judges who understand that their authority is defined and constrained by the Constitution. Judges must remain independent and impartial, free from political pressure or personal bias.
• Quincy believes justice requires both firmness and compassion. Through 17 and a half years of courtroom experience, he has seen how deeply court decisions affect families and communities. He is committed to treating every person who enters the courtroom with dignity, while ensuring the law is applied fairly and consistently.
• Quincy’s commitment to justice extends beyond private practice. His leadership with Milestones / Faulkner County Day School, service as a founding board member of STOP DV, and appointment by Governor Asa Hutchinson to the Arkansas Public Defender Commission reflect his belief that justice must both protect the vulnerable and uphold constitutional safeguards. His service demonstrates a steady commitment to integrity, balance, and public responsibility.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a candidate for a judicial office, my role is not to advocate for specific public policies, but to faithfully apply the Constitution and the laws enacted by the legislature. I am passionate about preserving the integrity of the judicial system, ensuring that courts operate with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the rule of law. I believe judges must exercise restraint, protect constitutional rights, and treat every individual who enters the courtroom with dignity and equal protection under the law.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Quincy McKinney has received endorsements and public testimonials from members of the local legal community, including attorneys who have worked with him and those who have appeared opposite him in court, as well as former clients, business owners, first responders and community members. Many supporters have publicly described his professionalism, fairness, and respect for those he serves.
