Judge Davis seeks 4th term
Cherokee County Judge
Chris Davis has announced
his candidacy for re-election
and looks for-
ward to con-
tinuing his
service to
the citizens
of Cherokee
County.
“As a Cher-
okee County
native, I love
Cherokee
County and I believe there
is no better place to raise a
family and call home.
Chris Davis
I worked my way through
college and obtained a mas-
ters degree in public ad-
ministration before running
for my first term as county
judge.
I have more than 20 years
of judicial experience. It
takes eduction and experi-
ence to handle this job and
I have both of these things.
I dispose of all cases brought
before me with the utmost
fairness and experience.
I have worked hard to
help our citizens in all their
dealings with county gov-
ernment. I have strived and
continue to strive to make
Cherokee County the best it
can be for our families.
I have been faced with some
pretty big challenges over
the years and I have been
able to overcome them and
move the county forward. We
have more work to do and I
have more service to offer the
citizens of our county.
I would like to ask for
your continued support in
my campaign for re-election
as Cherokee County Judge.”
