DAMON K. JONES
North East Region Representative
National Black Police Association

The National Black Police Association has been in existence since 1972. It has chartered organizations in the United Kingdom, Canada and Bermuda. The principal concerns of the National Black Police Association are the promotion of justice, fairness, and effectiveness in law enforcement issues. We monitor and observe the effect of those issues upon the total community.

In keeping with our mission, it is with great pride that the Westchester Chapter of the NBPA supports Nichelle Johnson on her run for the city of Mount Vernon, New York, City Court Judge.

The people of Mount Vernon have benefited from Mrs. Johnson's dedicated years of service as Deputy Corporation Counsel and 2nd Ass't Corporation Counsel. As City Court Judge, she will continue to promote positive change based on the transparency of the law that will make the city Mount Vernon a better place to live, work and raise a family.

In Unity and Peace

DERRICK & LYNNE CLAYE

We have carefully reviewed the qualifications of each candidate for
Mt.Vernon's City Court Judge and found Nichelle Johnson to be the most qualified, by far. She will bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and integrity to the Judgeship. She loves Mt. Vernon and has served this community with integrity and great passion. We want her to continue in this higher service to our great city.

JONATHAN ENGEL
Pace Law School Student

I had the pleasure of being mentored by Nichelle Johnson while I was a trial advocacy student at Pace Law School. Ms. Johnson was kind, patient, intelligent, and always available to help with any questions or concerns.

I have already sent emails to current third-year law students at Pace as well as Loretta Musial to see if they would like to volunteer or if they know anyone who would.

I support Nichelle Johnson for Mount Vernon City Court Judge and encourage Mount Vernon Residents to do the same.

FRANK T. FRALEY
President, Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce

Why do I support Nichelle Johnson?

I have witnessed firsthand her personal touch in our community. She has given countless hours of pro-bono services to those who can least afford exceptional representation.

Ms. Johnson has protected Mount Vernon legally in her position as an Assistant Corporation Counsel. Without any doubt she is one of the best legal minds to ever represent our great City and has worked diligently worked to serve the best interests of residents, and save taxpayers money.

Nichelle is energetic, funny, honest and willing to serve. She is a great wife and mother who has proven to be a well rounded community person. Mount Vernon needs experienced civic minded public servants. A person like Nichelle A. Johnson is what we need on the bench.

I believe Nichelle A. Johnson will make a fantastic Judge.

DELIA FARQUHARSON
Mount Vernon School Board Trustee

In Mt Vernon, we are fortunate to have qualified women with experience running for public office. Nichelle Johnson is both qualified and experienced, and I think she would make an excellent city court judge.

FLOYD MYERS
Former Recreation Commissioner/Business Owner

Nichelle Johnson is a woman of strong character, marked by integrity, a tireless work ethic and a positive attitude. She is the kind of person we can trust to make the difficult decisions raised in cases that come before the Court.

As 1st Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Mount Vernon, she has proven to be a dedicated public servant, carrying out her responsibilities with care and confident resolve. We need a person of Nichelle Johnson's caliber and temperament on the Mount Vernon City Court. Please join me in supporting her in this important election.
