Paris, Tenn.–In a tough race, long-time Judge Vicki Snyder defeated challenger Chad Cox to retain her position as Henry County General Sessions/Juvenile Court Judge for another eight years.
Judge Snyder received 2,675 votes, or 55.59 percent, while Cox received 2,136 votes or 44.39 percent.
Snyder said last night at an Election Night gathering at the Owens Event Center in Paris, “I’m just glad I can stay in the job and continue to help children in our county.”
She thanked “all the voters who took the time to get out and vote. It allows me to continue to work as a public servant for the court system here for eight more years.”
She said she is “especially grateful to be able to continue to serve our children with compassion.”
In a statement issued this morning, Cox said:
