“I am excited to officially announce my campaign for Superior Court Judge. I am grateful for the strong support we have received from across the communities of the Cordele Circuit. I look forward to continue working hard to earn the trust and support to serve the people as Judge.

 

I care deeply about protecting our citizens and way of life. That is why I have spent most of my career working as a prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Office. I am passionately committed to the law and to seeking justice to keep our families and loved ones safe.

 

Now, as my husband and I are raising our own daughter here, it is more important than ever to ensure that our community remains a great place to live, work, and worship. This is why I am running. I know firsthand that the decisions made by our judges have a significant impact on our way of life, and I am ready to put my proven experience, our shared values, and my commitment to the law and justice to work for you.

 

I have the unmatched experience in this race and the values needed to effectively serve as your Judge. I will serve with integrity, uphold the law, and make our community proud. I am asking for your prayers and support, and I hope to earn your vote,” concluded Fletcher.
