To The Editor:

Amidst the fleeting summer, eligible voters will have the chance to nominate a probate judge for the Bethel, Newtown, Redding, and Ridgefield district on August 9. A need for this service may be unforeseen by most of us, but when probate matters arise, a special person is required for this position.

Not only does Daniel O'Grady have 20 years of probate experience, but in my 25 years of knowing him, he has demonstrated the compassion, integrity, dedication, and knowledge that one would hope to find in a person elected to this office.

I would encourage eligible citizens of Bethel, Newtown, Redding, and Ridgefield to cast their votes for Daniel O'Grady  Tuesday, August 9.

Sincerely,

Cynthia NeJame
