To the Editor:

Surely, to us courteous longtime voters, this has to be the most frustrating of presidential elections. With the drama and name calling characterizing the top of the ticket, it is sometimes difficult to realize that this election is about more than presidential contenders, but does include many worthy candidates who are running for significant congressional and state positions.

Among those is Attorney Daniel O'Grady, who is running for Regional Judge of Probate representing Bethel, Newtown, Redding, and Ridgefield.

Attorney O'Grady has the experience, the knowledge, and the competence to serve effectively as Regional Judge of Probate. His credentials include 20 years as probate judge of Bethel, along with several terms as Bethel town attorney and Bethel town treasurer. His contributions to local civic organizations, such as Lions Club, are numerous.

He has proven that he can work compassionately with people and can make careful decisions on their behalf. He knows the duties of the office of probate judge and knows how to execute them with responsibility and integrity.

Join me on November 8 as we look to the end of the ballot and vote for Attorney Daniel O'Grady for Regional Judge of Probate.

Sincerely,

Joan Gereg-Bradley
