LETTER: Vote for Manny Nneji by voting early or on November 7

Published in Hudson Valley One on November 1, 2023

I write on behalf of Emmanuel (Manny) Nneji, candidate for Ulster County District Attorney.

While I am an attorney, I do not practice criminal law and met Manny when he announced he was running for DA.

I have heard Manny speak at various events. He impresses me as a very compassionate individual. To be a soccer coach for over 30 years working with our youth and with their families is a sure sign of compassion for the wellbeing of our community.

Manny, in his speeches, expresses sincere compassion for the victims of crimes, and for the defendants who transgress and are not beyond redemption. He shares his compassion for the wellbeing of our community to protect us all from being victims of serious crimes. Manny has persuaded me that after 30 years as an assistant district attorney, primarily for Republican DA’s, and including as first assistant for David Clegg, is proof that he is entirely qualified to do all he can do to foster a safe community in Ulster County

Please vote for Manny either by voting early at designated locations starting October 28 to November 5, or at your regular polling place on November 7.
