FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

June 11, 2008

Governor Bredesen administered the oath of office to Ginger Wilson Buchanan on Tuesday in an investiture ceremony at the Bradley County Court House. Bredesen appointed Buchanan to the Tennessee Circuit Court, 10th Judicial District, Part II, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge John Hagler in December.

“Ginger has already proven, in her time on the bench, that she will serve in this capacity with great integrity and with the full trust of her community,” Bredesen said. “Her experience in the private sector, as well as serving as an attorney for Bradley County government, has prepared her well for service in the Circuit Court.”

Prior to her appointment, Buchanan had been a solo practitioner in private practice in Cleveland since 1996. Buchanan has also served as Bradley County Commissioner from 2003 to 2006, and as the attorney for Bradley County government in the areas of planning, engineering and building inspections.
