Editor,

As a Member of Law Enforcement in this County for numerous years, I have had the opportunity to work with and observe Joe McBride as he represented this county as the District Attorney in both local courts and the Chenango County Court. I have witnessed Joe’s dedication to the people of Chenango County as well as to his family and friends. Joe’s obvious knowledge of the law and his demeanor in the courtroom have greatly contributed to his success as the Chenango County District Attorney and have enabled him to successfully prosecute a large number of criminal court cases within the county. I strongly believe these are important qualities needed to be considered for the position of County Court Judge.
