Eric Toney, District Attorney, Fond du Lac County
"I hired Gordon as a State Prosecutor knowing his work ethic, competence and integrity. He proved to be an incredible asset, having handled a large criminal caseload. I trusted Gordon with the most significant types of cases, including homicide, arson, financial crimes, domestic violence, drugs, and violent crimes. Gordon proved himself repeatedly in jury trials with his knowledge of the law and trial skills. I know he will serve the people of Washington County with honor as a Circuit Court Judge, just as he served our country as a U.S. Marine."
