Jessica K. Sanders

A lifelong resident of Alabama, Jessica Sanders left the Wiregrass to attend college at Faulkner University in Montgomery graduating magna cum laude. After Law school, she began her legal career as a prosecutor. For more than a decade Jessica worked closely with Randall Houston as an Assistant District Attorney for Autauga, Elmore, and Chilton counties where she prosecuted all kinds of cases-including capital murders.

Her legal career continued with her appointment as an Assistant Attorney General where she represented the state and members of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency in courts across the state and in both state and federal courts.

Jessica continued her dedication to public service by joining the Alabama Legislature as a legislative attorney, and for the past three years, she has served as Assistant Attorney General and Government Affairs Director for the State Department of Education.

Jessica will bring the experience she gained from working within the judicial system for Autauga, Elmore, and Chilton counties and from representing the state and Alabama's K-12 students to serve all the citizens of the 19th Circuit.

Jessica's extensive circuit court experience has more than prepared her to serve our communities as a Circuit Judge, and she promises to bring her conservative values, work ethic, honor, and integrity to serve as a judge.

Jessica has been married to her husband Russ for 17 years. Russ currently serves as the Assistant Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Prattville. Jessica and Russ attend the Prattville Church of Christ and are active members of the Prattville Lions Club.
