I live just over the line in Franklin County, but if I was a few hundred feet to the east in Essex County, I would vote for Bryan Liam Kennelly for Essex County judge. I’ve known Liam for over 20 years, since he did an internship with me when I worked for the state. I appreciated his enthusiasm and willingness to put in the effort way back then, and I’m so pleased to see that he remains committed to the people of our area with his signature positive energy.

As county judge, one of his duties will be to oversee personal matters with children and families, and I feel certain he will do this with kindness and thoughtful leadership. I’ve observed his interactions with children, and he speaks to them as individuals who matter to him, their caregivers and our community. Though I don’t live in Essex County, it has ripple effects for me and my family whether or not my neighbors have healthy, people-oriented judicial oversight. I strongly believe Liam will be fair, hard-working, deeply committed and kind as Essex County judge.
