My name is Carly Sandoval, and I am running for Justice of the Peace because I believe our courts should be fair, efficient, and grounded in respect for every person who walks through the doors.

I bring more than 20 years of experience in the criminal justice system, including over 15 years serving our Justice Court. I began my career in 2002 with the County Attorney’s Office and Victim Services, and for the past eight years I have proudly served as a Hearing Officer and Initial Appearance Master. Throughout my career, I have worked every day to uphold integrity, professionalism, and the rule of law.

In my current role, I preside over small claims and civil traffic hearings, juvenile matters, and conduct initial appearances for in-custody cases for all Yuma County courts. These responsibilities demand careful judgment, consistency, and compassion—values I bring to every case.

I am a lifelong resident of Yuma County, raised in the agricultural community of Somerton, where I learned the importance of hard work, accountability, and service. This community has been my home for more than 40 years, and it is an honor to serve the people who make it so special.

I am committed to continuing my service with fairness, experience, and a deep respect for our community and our courts.
