Karlise Yvette Grier

A Message from Karlise

People often ask me why I want to be a judge. I want to be a judge because I have a passion for helping people. I want to work to improve the lives of the people of Fulton County through judicial service.

I love this community. I was born and raised in Fulton County. I grew up in the Collier Heights community and was graduated from Frederick Douglass High School. I also spent time in the Pittsburg community where both my grandmother and my mother were born and raised. I currently live in the Old Fourth Ward. My parents were wonderful people. My father worked at Lockheed Georgia, until shortly before his death from cancer. My mother taught high school mathematics for 35 years at Washington, Howard, Sutton, and Northside. My parents, through their example, taught me the values of honesty, service, and hard work. These values define me as a person, as a lawyer and as a judge. I have a history of working in court proceedings directly with children and families to improve their lives. Through judicial service and community outreach, I want to work to strengthen families, serve as a role model for young people, and promote a stronger and safer Fulton County.

I ask for you to vote for me, Karlise Yvette Grier, on November 2, 2010.
