LETTER: Backing Chip Houlihan For Judge of Probate

I am a former Democratic Town Chair and State Central Committeeman and agree completely with the assessment that the office of Judge of Probate is routinely overlooked. Which is amazing to me because it is the the one office we need personally at the most vulnerable times of our lives! I'll bet more than 3/4 of the people who read this don't even know the name of their Judge of Probate!

Well this year some of us are extremely fortunate to have an outstanding endorsed Democrat, attorney Charles D. (Chip) Houlihan, Jr. of Simsbury running for election on November 6th, 2018. Chip is an excellent legal practitioner as well as a caring and compassionate human being and, if elected in our District (Avon, Canton, Granby and Simsbury) would, together with Hon. Evelyn Daly (Farmington and Burlington District) give the Farmington Valley probate services that would be the envy of the State of Connecticut!

I urge you to join with Matt and me in supporting Chip in every way we can to make sure he is indeed elected in November. Thank you.
