After much discussion with my family, especially my 3-year-old granddaughter who wants to “play with Papa more,” I have decided I will not be running for re-election to the position of District 2 District Judge of Canadian County.

I will truly miss serving the citizens of Canadian County, but I feel that the judiciary in this county is one of the best in the state and I will be leaving it in great hands. I feel now is the time to devote myself to other things.

Law enforcement reports over the past three years show there have been approximately six reported rapes or attempted rapes in Canadian County each month.
