I am writing to endorse, Steven Barnwell, for Mineola Village Justice. He is my brother and I want the people of Mineola to know what many of us, including the late honorable Judge John O’Shea, have known for a long time.
Steve is smart, fair-minded, generous and honest with an excellent and agile legal mind. He is a person of integrity with a strong work ethic. As a family member, I know how hard my brother worked to become a lawyer – he attended law school part-time while working a full-time and part-time job, persevering until he finally achieved his goal of becoming a lawyer just before his 40th birthday.
I believe this is one of the reasons he is able to empathize with people, their situations and their perspectives and ultimately solve problems. As his sister, I have benefited from his guidance for decades. I urge the people of Mineola to vote for Steven Barnwell for the Mineola Village Justice so that they too can benefit from his wisdom. Thank you.
