“I think the whole Republican ticket did really well last night,” he said.
He said he was pleased with the number of people who came out to vote during an off-year election.
“We’ll just keep campaigning and keep talking to people about my experience, he said, adding that he believes his experience makes him the best judge candidate.
“I think I have the tools that are needed for the courts at this time,” he said.

Corr said his experience in over 70 jury trials would help him handle the backlog.
“I know that is something I can do right away going in, he said.
He said the backlog won t be known until the courts open up fully, when people will began filing notices of intent to go to trial in their civil or criminal cases.
Another issue facing the courts, he said, is access to the courts themselves. He noted that during the pandemic, the courts allowed people to appear in court via video.
Corr said he has seen officials making use of video technology, such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, for some hearings.
