Supporters of newly elected Dane County Circuit Court Judge Everett Mitchell made a joyful noise Tuesday evening, joining with him as he called on them to renew their commitment to making Dane County a place where “everybody is somebody!” Mitchell, director of community relations for University of Wisconsin-Madison, pastor of Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church, community activist and former assistant Dane County District Attorney, ran unopposed. He spoke to a crowd of some 80 supporters at the Goodman Community Center, recalling how in a recent interview he was asked how it was going to feel “working for the man,” sitting on the bench in Dane County Circuit Court and meting out justice. “I’m not going to be working for the man. I am going to be working for the people,” Mitchell told the crowd.
