To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Congratulations to Judge Gerald Eddins on securing another term as Judge of Jefferson County Court at Law No. 1.

After running unopposed in the Democratic Primary and facing no opposition in the upcoming November General Election, Judge Eddins has earned the opportunity to continue serving the people of Jefferson County. He has served on the bench since first being elected in 2012 and has built a reputation for professionalism, experience, and dedication to the rule of law.

Throughout his years of service, Judge Eddins has overseen a wide range of civil, probate, and county court matters, helping ensure that justice is administered fairly and efficiently for the citizens of Jefferson County.

We congratulate Judge Eddins on this accomplishment and thank him for his continued service to our community. We look forward to his swearing-in for another term in January 2027.

The Jefferson County Democratic Party mourns the loss of Michael Therrien. Michael was a longtime Democratic activist, campaign worker, and passionate advocate for the issues that mattered most to him, including the welfare of our military veterans, fair treatment of LGBTQ individuals, labor protections, and civic engagement. He served our nation honorably in the United States Navy and was a talented local artist whose work reflected a deep appreciation for both the human form and the beauty of nature.

We extend our condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him. He will be remembered for his dedication to public service, his advocacy, and the impact he made in our community.
