My name is Tonjula Carey and I’m proud to announce my candidacy for District Court Judge in Greene County, Alabama.
Greene County has always been a part of my story. Being surrounded by great people who believe in hard work and values is what makes this community so special. My roots are here and so is my heart. Greene County is more than just a place, it’s home.
I’m running because I believe in a District Court that reflects the strength, resilience, and values of our community. A court that serves with integrity, transparency, and respect.
After completing law school, I made the intentional decision to return back to Greene County. I wanted to pour back into the community that poured so much into me. My experiences here helped shape my character, values, and passion for justice. I knew I wanted to use my legal training to serve the people who helped mold me, to give back in a meaningful way, and to help strengthen the systems that impact our everyday lives. Coming back to Greene County wasn’t a career move, it was a calling. Having served in this community the past few years, I know that it is my purpose to be at the forefront of Justice and Change.
As I begin this journey, I look forward to building a relationship with even more of the incredible people who make Greene County the strong and vibrant community it is today. In the months ahead, I’ll be sharing more about my vision and how we can work together to ensure our courts are accessible, transparent, and worthy of the trust placed in them.
If you believe in building a court system that reflects our community’s values and serves with fairness and integrity, I invite you to join me — because justice matters, and so does your voice. Whether you can volunteer your time, help spread the word, or simply share your support, we welcome you. This campaign will be powered by people, and we can’t do it without you. Let’s do this, TOGETHER. I hope to earn your support, your prayers, and your vote in the Primary Election on May 19, 2026.
