Filing on Monday, Heather Galvin officially entered the race for Beaufort County Probate Judge.
“I learned from an early age that there is value in hard work and service. My passion is helping people, and I am proud to do that every day while serving as Beaufort County’s Associate Probate Judge,” Galvin said in a press release. “When the Honorable Kenneth E. Fulp, Jr., the current Beaufort County Probate Judge, announced his retirement at the end of this year, I knew the highest honor and best use of my time was to serve my community and seek elected office as Beaufort County’s next Probate Judge.”
Galvin serves as Beaufort County’s Associate Probate Judge. She initially announced her candidacy in late January. She was appointed to her position by Fulp in 2012.
After graduating from law school, Galvin has work in both the private and public sectors.
“Integrity, honesty, compassion are tenets by which I live my life, and I apply them daily while proudly serving the people of Beaufort County,” Galvin said. “I look forward to serving them as Beaufort County’s next Probate Judge.”
