MISSION STATEMENT
Justice Starts Locally
My name is Bryan Ray and I am running for the now vacant Alamance County District Court Judicial seat 1. I have maintained a law practice here in Alamance County since 2013. For the past 10+ years, I have practiced law in all seven court rooms District Court Judges preside over here in Alamance County. In February 2024, the Alamance County Republican Executive Committee nominated me to run for the now vacant judicial seat. In addition, I received the highest number of votes (30) against Natalie Jones (23) and Bryan Norris (17) when the Alamance County Bar Association voted for names to submit to Governor Roy Cooper to fill the judicial vacancy. I believe that the breadth of knowledge and experience I have at the District Court level make me a competent and qualified candidate for this seat.
