Mike Acuff Thanks Voters

Thursday, August 09, 2012

Thanks to those Soddy Daisy voters who honored me with their vote in their recent City Court judge election.  A special thanks also to those family and friends who assisted in my campaign, whether through their donations, letters of support or in any of the other numerous acts that make up a campaign.

Finally, my congratulations to new Soddy Daisy judge, Marty Lasley.  Even before the vote was counted, I shared with Marty that I recognized the effects of his positive, outgoing personality and his diligent efforts walking the streets of Soddy Daisy asking for votes.
