Editor,

I am writing to show my support for Joe McBride to be selected on Primary Day, Sept. 13, 2012, as the Republican candidate for Chenango County Court Judge. I have known Joe for many years and have always admired his character as well as his dedication to his family, his community and especially his commitment to the position of District Attorney.

Joe has worked hard as Chenango County DA, achieving a high conviction rate. Having successfully prosecuted many felons, Joe has worked to ensure that “Justice is served.” His experience is unmatched as he has worked in County Court participating in over 65 jury trials, but also having broad experience in Family Court and Surrogate Court. Joe is truly respected by the law enforcement community as well as his peers in the legal profession.
