On June 14, Republicans will vote in the primary election for the candidate who will run in the general election for judge of probate for Oxford County. I would ask those people casting a vote to please consider the candidate who, in my opinion, exhibits compassion, sensitivity and practicality.

The judge of probate’s role is to determine the enforceability of wills, assure the proper administration of decedents’ and incapable individuals’ estates and trusts, consider child adoptions and approve name changes.

Jarrod Crockett embodies all of the attributes necessary for the position — intelligence, fair-mindedness, honesty and caring for those he represents. I believe he will do his best to interpret the law and protect the needs of all Oxford County residents.

I urge other voters to join me in supporting Jarrod Crockett as the Republican nominee for judge of probate.
