But I firmly believe that one should not make a long career of holding a highly visible position like county judge,” Self said in the post. Without naming a candidate, but hinting at a specific person, Self said there will be a “strong candidate capable of continuing our conservative successes of the past decade.” He thanked residents for their “support, feedback and participation” throughout the years.
