I support Erin Gall in her campaign to be elected justice of the New York State Supreme Court in the Fifth Judicial District. During the past 15 years, I have worked as a police investigator in the Central New York area, and in such capacity I have had countless contacts with many area courts. Through my professional dealings with Oneida County Court, I have come to know and respect Erin Gall, who is currently the principal court attorney to acting Justice of the Supreme Court Barry M. Donalty.

She is a highly knowledgeable and vastly experienced attorney, she has an in-depth understanding of the law, and she is highly respected by her peers. On several occasions, Erin Gall has gone above and beyond her responsibilities as legal advisor to Judge Donalty by assisting me with navigating complex legal issues relative to my work as a police officer. Erin’s life experiences as an attorney, as an educator, as an advocate for victims, and as a wife and mother, make her uniquely qualified to sit as Supreme Court justice. In my opinion, Erin is highly qualified to sit as Supreme Court justice, and I feel that it is in the best interests of the citizens of Oneida, Herkimer, Onondaga, Oswego, Jefferson and Lewis counties that she be elected to this position.
