The following is a statement I posted on my Probate page yesterday.
It's been a little while since I last posted but I wanted everyone to know that I have decided to run for re-election to serve as your Probate Judge. Tonight is my convention where I will seek nomination to run in this year's election. Each day that I attend Court, my goal is to make sure everyone has an opportunity to be heard and that I apply the law to the facts of the case in order to render a decision.
I also try to make sure that everyone is treated with respect recognizing that many of them are experiencing trauma and are at the lowest point of their lives. There are alot of emotions in cases we handle such as Appointments of Conservator, Removal of parents as Guardians of their children, Termination of Parental Rights, Adoptions, Commitments, Name Changes, Decedents Estates, etc...
I hope I can maintain the trust you've had in me as your Probate Judge and that I can count on your votes in November. Thank you.
Bill
PS - thank you to Dina Schaffrick and Susan Riccio Murawski for nominating and seconding me.
