Davidson County Circuit Court Clerk Richard Rooker informed county officials today that he will not seek re-election, the Nashville Post reports. Rooker was first appointed to the job in 1993 and went on to serve seven more four-year terms. He succeeded his father George Rooker. Together, the pair held the office for 54 years. Rooker's chief deputy, Joseph Day, is running for the post and Rooker said he endorses Day's candidacy "100 percent." He also told the Post that the decision to retire was "bittersweet" but it was time "to move on."
