Troy Johnstone
Town
Justice
This is a contested election, with three candidates running for two positions. I am the only incumbent in the race.
Many people may not realize what the role of Justice truly involves. One of the most critical responsibilities is being available for arraignments at any hour-day, night, weekend or holiday. Over the past four years, I’ve responded to more than 600 after-hours arraignments, ensuring that justice is administered promptly and fairly, outside regular court hours. These can be at 2 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning, coming from all police agencies in Sullivan County.
​
I encourage you to consider this question when you head to the polls on November 4th:
Who has consistently shown up—and who will continue to show up?
Vote Johnstone for Justice!​
