My family and I offer our sincere thanks to each and every supporter of the campaign.

The contributions you generously gave, allowed us to mail or distribute 75,000 pieces of literature and thousands of signs.

We are grateful to those who put up signs, waved at street corners, sat at polling places, and walked neighborhoods during the heat and rain.

Finally, when appointed by the Governor, I promised to "Uphold the principles upon which I received the appointment."  I chose to run the campaign with a positive message.  I avoided mounting negative attacks, despite the hostilities that were mounted against me.  I have already been asked, "Do I regret not being negative?"  My answer is a resounding "NO!".  My respect for our justice system is too great to sling mud and denigrate the position of Judge.  I've met too many citizens during this campaign who look negatively upon our justice system.  I was not going to add any credence to their misconceptions.

I proudly will remain your Orange County Judge for the next 4 months.  Rest assured that my commitment to "Justice for All" remains.

Once again, we thank each of you for your support, prayers and encouragement throughout this process.

I humbly remain, at your service...

Orange County Judge Mark D. Wixtrom
