Thank you to everyone who came out to vote in this election. I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and supporters for standing by me throughout this campaign. Your encouragement, hard work, and votes made this decisive victory possible, and I could not have done it without each and every one of you.

This has been a long and challenging campaign, and I now look forward to serving our courts and community with compassion, understanding, and a steadfast commitment to the law. I pledge to deliver justice that is fair, equitable, and consistent for all.

I commend my opponent for a hard-fought campaign and extend congratulations to all who ran. Whether successful or not, your dedication to public service deserves great respect. Campaigning takes a real emotional and personal toll, and yet we all share a commitment to our community that endures beyond the election.

Throughout my life, I’ve supported people and principles over party. I now embrace a role of strict nonpartisanship – dedicated solely to justice that is independent and unbiased.

In the coming months, I will be diligently preparing to take the bench. I am committed to upholding and promoting the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
~ Judge-Elect Donald A Johnson
