Mike Cady for Judge of the Orphans’ Court

Mike Cady

As you may know, I registered as a candidate for Judge of the Orphans’ Court. The most frequently asked question is, “Why”?

Last November, at age 66, I decided to retire and focus on my health. Since then, I lost over 35 pounds and had my hip replaced, which was needed for more than a decade. Today, I feel great and eager to pursue a new challenge where I can put my energy and life’s experiences to good use.

A few months ago, I learned that Judge Tim May was leaving the Orphans’ Court to run for Register of Wills. Tim honorably served the Court for the past sixteen years. I approached Tim about the Orphans’ Court and he was most gracious. Tim answered all of my questions concerning the Court’s duties and responsibilities, and encouraged me to seek the Office. He also volunteered to serve as my mentor.

After researching the Court and discussing the opportunity with my wife (Darlene), I decided to pursue it. I believe my past experiences and dedication to serving others prepared me to earn this position. If elected as one of the three Judges of the Orphans’ Court, I pledge to equitably apply the appropriate law to every case heard, to be respectful to all who appear and to be considerate of all points of views presented. However, to get elected, I need your help in two important ways.

First, I ask for your vote and support by sharing my candidacy with your relatives, friends, acquaintances and colleagues. Please refer them to my website votemikecady.com for information about me.

Second, even though I plan to run a low profile and relatively inexpensive campaign, funds are still needed to do so. Please consider contributing to my campaign. To avoid any allegations of influence pedaling, I voluntarily imposed a $100 contribution limit per individual. Any amount up to $100 would be greatly appreciated. Please make your contribution payable to Committee to Elect Mike Cady and mail it to 911 Motter Place, Frederick, Maryland 21701.

I welcome your comments. You may reach me by phone (301-667-2801) or e-mail mike@votemikecady.com.

Most sincerely,

Mike Cady
