Conservative Attorney Mickey Kicklighter

Announces for Superior Court Judge

Conservative attorney Mickey Kicklighter has
announced that he will be a candidate for judge of
Superior Court of the Ogeechee Circuit. The
Ogeechee Circuit is comprised of Bulloch,
Effingham, Jenkins and Screven counties.
With more than 33 years of experience as a
practicing attorney, I am uniquely qualified to serve
as our next judge. I've worked in private practice for
decades in almost every area of the law, served as a
prosecutor and public defender in trials, practiced
civil law to protect the rights of clients, and protected
clients in zoning and land use cases, said
Kicklighter.
I also believe we need to elect conservative judges
who believe in Constitutional principles. I am a
strong believer in protecting our Second Amendment
rights, and am a life member of the National Rifle
Association, said Kicklighter.
