âI served with Bill on the Board of Commissioners and quickly grew to admire his deep knowledge and ability to get things done. We were from different parties but he was a man of his word, a genuine public servant and a friend. My sincere condolences to his loved ones,ââ Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter wrote in a Tweet.
Bullard succeeded Ruth Johnson as Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds when she was elected Secretary of State in 2010. He was defeated for re-election to a full term as county clerk in 2012 by Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown.
