Testimonials

“I do not consider myself to be a political person. Anyone who knows me well will tell you I vote for the best candidate, regardless of party affiliation. In working with Jason Darnall, I found him to be a person who believes in doing the right thing, regardless of the politics. When he told me he was running for County Attorney, I knew he was the person for the job. Jason has proven himself to me to be a man of his word. In my tenure as director of the Marshall County Health Department, I found Jason to be a person of integrity. He works countless hours for the health department, and I can say with confidence he will work tirelessly for our county and do what is right. “

"I've known Jason and his family all of my life and worked with him while I was Superintendent of the Marshall County Road Department. Anytime I had a question or needed help with something, I knew I could count on Jason to help us in anyway we needed."

“In my 15 years as a Court of Appeals Judge, I had over 20 lawyers to serve as my staff attorneys. Jason was one of four or five attorneys whose work product excelled over the others. Jason researched many complex legal issues from a wide variety of cases. His research and writing was always outstanding.”

"I have had the pleasure of working with Jason Darnall for a number of those years. Jason has always made himself available to law enforcement 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As an investigator, he has been a valuable resource for me personally. He is always available for questions, search warrant reviews, and arrest warrants. I am confident that Jason will serve the citizens well as County Attorney."

Detective Captain Matt Hilbrecht

"I have had the opportunity to work with Jason Darnall on several governmental projects, and I have represented clients in legal matters in which he has been involved. In each instance, he has been well prepared and demonstrated legal abilities that set him apart from his peers. I support Jason in this campaign because I hope we can continue to have him represent the citizens of Marshall County as its County Attorney."

“When I decided to take on the office of Marshall County Judge Executive after my husband’s death, I did so with the knowledge that there would be experienced and knowledgeable people to help me along the way. Jason was one of these and over the ten months I was in office, Jason mentored me and advised me on many unexpected and new challenges I met along the way. His advice and help was such a comfort, and his support of me in every new situation was just what I needed. Jason’s knowledge of law is unquestionable. But mostly I found him to be a true public servant concerned in all the aspects of county government. Jason will fulfill all duties of the County Attorney with knowledge, experience, and dedication.”

Chyrill Miller

Judge Executive, Retired

"Jason is well qualified to become our County Attorney. During his 13 years as Assistant County Attorney he has become well acquainted with all aspects required of this office. He is diligent, trustworthy, organized, and will be responsive to questions and concerns of the citizens of Marshall County. I support Jason in his quest to become our next Marshall County Attorney."

George Long

Past President, Kentucky Bar Association

"I have worked alongside Jason for the last 14 years and can say that his work ethic and dedication to his job and his community are second to none. As examples, when the State furloughed all employees for three days in 2011, Jason continued to come to work even though he was not getting paid. He had outpatient surgery one morning, then showed up to work that afternoon. He even worked on his wedding day before reporting to the church that Friday afternoon for the ceremony. Jason frequently volunteers to speak to local schools on a variety of topics and is a supporter of many different local charitable causes, including the Exceptional Center, the animal shelter, the H.O.P.E Clinic, Teachers Helping Kids, and Toys for Kids. He consistently shows a heart of service, and I wholeheartedly support him as our next Marshall County Attorney."

Lisa Carter

Assistant County Attorney

"Jason has been my assistant since 2004, and I could not be more pleased with his work ethic and abilities. During this time period, he has literally handled every issue imaginable among the county attorney's duties. From trying scores of cases, to advising the fiscal court, to managing the day-to-day operations of the office, he has time and again demonstrated a masterful knowledge of the law and an outstanding ability to get things done. Without hesitation, I support his candidacy for Marshall County Attorney and encourage everyone to support him as I am."


Jeff Edwards

County Attorney

"I've worked with Jason for his entire 14 years as a prosecutor and can say that he has always done his best to make sure that officers have input in the decisions made in court. Be it day, night, weekend, or holiday, Jason has always been there for us and now I am happy to support him."

Tracy Watwood

Benton Chief of Police, Retired

"I would like to take this opportunity to publicly endorse Jason Darnall for the office of County Attorney. Jason has served as city attorney for Hardin since 2007, and it has been an honor for me to have worked with him these past 10 plus years.

Jason is and always has been very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable of the law. He has always had 'what's best for the city' in mind at all times. Jason has always made himself available whenever he was needed and put the city first. As an example, Jason declined a proposed raise in his compensation in order to free up funds to be used toward other employees' raises.

With his work ethic, commitment, and determination, not to mention his almost 14 years experience as Assistant County Attorney, I have no doubt that Jason will make an outstanding Marshall County Attorney."
