Editor,

I was impressed with the presentation of Frank Revoir at the Chenango County Judicial Candidate Forum held Thursday, September 6 at the Norwich High School and sponsored by The Evening Sun. It simply confirmed the decision by both my husband and me to support Frank Revoir for the position of Chenango County Judge in the upcoming Primary this Thursday, September 13. This Primary will be for Conservatives, Independence, and Republicans and will result in a very important decision: who will be the judge who presides over the Chenango County Court, Family Court, and Surrogate’s Court for the next 10 years? That decision will impact all of us in Chenango County, either directly or indirectly.

This means that we need to choose a person who has what is known as “judicial temperament.” This is a quality that involves being able to look at each case fairly on its merits without bias, basing decisions on the law, and treating each participant in a court case respectfully, while at the same time keeping an orderly court. These abilities I have seen in Frank Revoir. I have found him to be fair, honest, decent, even-tempered, compassionate and caring, but firm when needed. These are all the same characteristics needed for a judge who not only deals with criminal cases, but also with family cases involving some of our youngest citizens in this county. So many lives can be impacted by this one position, which is why we need to be sure that the candidate we choose can best handle all three courts well.

Frank Revoir has extensive experience in all three courts, working in all three continually. I have talked to many of his clients who have given glowing reports of how he represented them. Frank has over 21 years of experience that he gained through serving in many legal capacities including Law Clerk, Prosecutor as Assistant County Attorney, Criminal Defense Attorney, Estate Attorney, and Family Court Litigator. So, when talking about experience, Frank Revoir has the most extensive, current, and varied experience needed to preside over all three courts.
