I want to let my fellow North Branford voters know about Attorney Chuck Tiernan, the Democratic candidate for Probate Judge of the combined Branford-North Branford Probate District.

I have known Chuck Tiernan for many years during his successful legal career. He is a partner in one of the best area law firms. Chuck's extensive legal practice has included the full range of probate matters.

Having previously been a probate judge for 13 years, I am familiar with what the job involves. Chuck Tiernan has the necessary knowledge, experience, people skills, commitment, and compassion to do the job right. I am fully confident that he can handle any probate case that comes into the court. We will be well-served by electing Chuck Tiernan to be our probate judge for the next four years.
