I am writing in support of Bryan Liam Kennelly for the position of Essex County judge — Bryan, some constituents know him as Liam. My close knowledge of him and his family is well over a decade. Direct observation verifies that he has integrity, compassion and a driving force to do the right thing. Bryan is goal oriented and plans ahead. He is a family man with a wife and daughter. Bryan was born and resides in Essex County, He grew up and completed grades K-12 also in Essex County. He completed and his undergraduate studies in New York state and jumped Lake Champlain to complete his law degree at Vermont Law School. Bryan is a LOCAL.

Bryan has leadership skills. He has been a student body president. Bryan has given back to our local citizens by serving on a school board. Currently he serves as attorney for the town of Keene. Essex County is part of the New York state Fourth Judicial District. He proposes that the state of New York increase funding to allow for a traveling Essex County Court to accommodate our geographically challenged population.

Bryan has been studying and practicing law for over two decades. His legal expertise encompasses family law, probate, matrimonial, child advocacy and representation of those in need. Both the Democratic and Working Family parties have recommended and endorsed him. I heartily recommend Bryan Liam Kennelly for the position of Essex County Judge.
