"As a Cherokee County native, I love Cherokee County and believe there is no better place to raise a family and call home. I worked my way through college and obtained a Master's Degree in Public Administration before running for my first term as County Judge. I now have almost three decades of judicial experience. It takes education and experience to handle this job, and I have both of these qualities. I dispose of all cases brought before me with the utmost fairness and expedience. I have worked hard to help our citizens in all their dealings with county government and I am confident that the citizens I have assisted over the years will attest to this fact. I have strived, and continue to strive, to make Cherokee County the best it can be for the sake of our families. I have been faced with some major challenges over the years in preparing a budget to meet the needs of our county while moving the county forward and also being ever mindful of taxpayer dollars. Our county is financially sound and I intend to keep it that way. We have more work to do and I have more service to offer the citizens of our county," Davis said. "I would like to ask for your continued support in my campaign for re — election as Cherokee County Judge".
