Contribute/Volunteer
Your help is needed, and would be much appreciated, in order to insure that Judge Meyer is elected. Right now, the northern counties of the Fourth Judicial District – St. Lawrence, Clinton, Franklin, Essex and Hamilton – have only one resident trial-level supreme court justice. Seven of the other eight counties each have at least one resident trial-level supreme court justice, with Saratoga having three and Schenectady and Warren each with two.
