‘Rule of Law’ Circuit Judge O’Grady earns ‘Friend of Ag’ endorsement in Supreme Court bid
Judge Patrick William "Bill" O'Grady, first elected to serve as a 15th Circuit Court Judge in 2008, has presided over nearly 14,000 cases since then in Branch County. In those 15 years, he has a earned a reputation as a “Rule-of-Law” judge. O’Grady said he intends to bring that same philosophy to the highest court as a Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, earning him a “Friend of Agriculture” endorsement from Michigan Farm Bureau’s AgriPac committee for the November general election.
