Amber Knowles has announced her candidacy for Marion County Treasurer in the March 2026 Republican primary.
Knowles, a lifetime Marion County resident, currently serves as Deputy Treasurer. She said she plans to bring increased transparency and operational efficiency to the office, building on ongoing improvements she has made to the county’s financial systems.
“I believe this role requires dedication, integrity, experience, and a servant’s heart,” Knowles said in a statement. “I am committed to advancing the county forward, and my experience and education reflect my capability to achieve this.”
Knowles joined the county in 2021 as Assistant Comptroller, working in budgeting, payroll, human resources, and accounts payable. In her current role, she has helped update revenue coding and improve budgeting methods.
A 2012 graduate of Yellville-Summit, Knowles is pursuing a business degree at Arkansas State University, where she maintains a 4.0 GPA. She is expected to graduate in December.
Knowles is a member of the Marion County Republican Party, Republican Women of Marion County, the Arkansas Treasurer’s Association, and the Mid-Marion County Rotary Club.
“I humbly ask for your vote and support to continue serving Marion County,” Knowles said.
