Jeffrey M. Perry, Jackson County Planning Commission Chairman and Commerce attorney, announces his candidacy for State Court Judge of Jackson County. He is a lifelong resident of Jackson County and has been a managing partner at The Perry Law Firm in Commerce since 2003. Perry received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia in speech communication and Juris Doctor from Georgia State College of Law. Perry has represented clients in both criminal and civil law.
He has served on the Jackson County Planning Commission for five years and has been elected chairman for the past three. Perry is a member of Jackson County Area Chamber of Commerce, Commerce Kiwanis Club and the Piedmont Bar Association. He is married to Leigh Ann Perry, a third grade teacher at Banks County Elementary School, and they are members of Maysville Baptist Church. Perry said, “The last time the people of Jackson County had a chance to elect their own State Court judge was 24 years ago. I want to give the people of Jackson County a choice. I want to ensure that the people of Jackson County have an independent, fair and competent State Court that will interpret and apply the law fairly and equally to all. I want to maintain the honor, integrity, and dignity of the judges who have previously sat on this honorable bench. I know of no greater honor than to be ‘the People’s Choice’ for State Court Judge of Jackson County.”
Thank you,
Patrick
