Whoever comes out on top in the June 9 election for Fulton County Probate Court judge, they’ll certainly won’t have as colorful a name as the current officeholder, Judge Pinkie Toomer, who announced in January she wouldn’t seek reelection.  

Toomer was serving as the Probate Court’s chief deputy clerk in 2002 when then-Judge Floyd Propst retired after 25 years on the bench. Propst entered private practice and is currently a partner at Caldwell, Propst & DeLoach. Toomer was tapped to fill the judge’s post and has been reelected ever since.
