Retired District Attorney Endorses Hayes For Solicitor General

CANTON, GA — Retired Cherokee County District Attorney Garry Moss has announced his endorsement of Todd Hayes to become the county's next solicitor general. Moss retired from the post in 2012, and was succeeded by incumbent Shannon Wallace.

"Cherokee County needs a solicitor general with the depth of experience to do the job, and Todd Hayes is the only one of these candidates that has it,” Moss said in a press release provided by the Hayes campaign.

Hayes is facing off against fellow lawyer Sarah Hobson in the May 22 primary to replace retiring Cherokee County Solicitor General Jessica Moss.

“I am grateful that retired Cherokee County District Attorney Garry Moss has endorsed me,” Hayes said. “Mr. Moss served this county (for) so long and so well, and he knows from experience what it means to put the safety and well-being of Cherokee citizens first. It is an honor to have his support.”
