To the editor:

When you vote, vote for the lifelong local, Kristy Sprague. Kristy has been here since she played basketball against and with you in high school, Kristy Sprague was educated here, in New York at SUNY Plattsburgh and Albany Law School. Kristy Sprague is who you invited to your birthday parties, your family weddings and picnics. She is the one who knows the people of Essex County, knows the way of life, the everyday struggles and successes. Kristy Sprague is the one with the insight, the North County knowledge and the integrity to continue her 26 years of public service as your first ever female Essex County judge. Hundreds, thousands believe as I do, that Kristy Sprague will win. BUT do not stay home and let this slip away. YOU, me, the locals need to go out and vote, as every vote counts! Early voting starts Oct. 26, vote Kristy Sprague. Nov. 5 is Election Day, vote Kristy Sprague.
