Thanks for support

I wish to thank the voters of both Franklin and Fulton counties for having retained me in the recent judicial retention election. This year's retention election cycle was just a bit different, as interest groups sought to focus the public's attention on matters other than the records of judges up for retention. That the public's interest in judicial retention elections was heightened is a good thing. As a trial judge, I was and continue to be pleased to have the public scrutinize my record.

To those who supported me publicly, personally and in the voting booth, I extend my most sincere gratitude.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have held the public trust for 10 years and for the confidence which the voters have placed in me. Thank you.

Richard J. Walsh
