Dear Friend,
My family and I are greatly honored by my recent nomination to be a candidate for
Circuit Court Judge for the l0th Judicial District.
It was truly a humbling experience to see so many longtime friends sacrifice their time to register as delegates and attend the Republican convention to show their support for me in this endeavor. Your friendship is dear to my family and me and I appreciate your support.
For the past eighteen years I have focused my law practice on complex business legal matters. During that time, I also served as a substitute Judge and volunteered as a Campus Court Judge in various schools throughout our community.
As a parent, attorney and a member of this community, I have come to appreciate just how important each legal issue is to the citizens involved. I believe it is imperative that our Judiciary maintain the highest level of integrity possible to ensure each and every citizen their fair day in Court.
Therefore, after much prayer and consideration, I am today announcing that I accept the nomination of the Republican Party of Bradley, McMinn, Polk and Monroe counties and will be a candidate for Circuit Court Judge for the 10th Judicial District.
I do not seek this position for any personal or selfish cause. I wish to serve the people of this district with the highest level of integrity and honor.
I ask each citizen of this district to join me in this endeavor and to please vote for me in the August 7 election. Early voting starts July 18 and will run through August 2. This site will provide contact information as well as campaign updates and event announcements.
Again, I appreciate your help and prayers in this major challenge. It is my sincere belief that together we can achieve our goal.
Very Truly Yours,
Mike Sharp
