To the Editor:

Last year, I had the pleasure and honor of meeting many of you as I campaigned to be elected Guilderland town justice. I’ve decided that I will renew that campaign and I’m formally announcing my candidacy for the position, which will appear on the ballot again this year.

The responsibilities I have as a lawyer, husband, and father have not only tested me but have shaped me into the person I am — diligent and persistent but also caring and understanding. I remain energized by the support I had last year and I’m bringing that energy to the campaign trail again this year.

I’m looking forward to meeting you or seeing you out there again this year. I’ll work hard to earn your vote. If I get it, I’ll work just as hard as your next Town Justice to reduce court backlog  and cost in a fair and impartial manner.

Steve Chesley
