My name is Jean Papay. I am the Carbon County Register of Wills/Clerk of the Orphans’ Court and work closely with the county’s four Magisterial District Judges. I understand what skills and qualities are necessary to make a great MDJ. Beth Dodson possesses those skills and qualities - and then some.

If you haven’t reviewed her impressive resume, I urge you to do so at www.dodsonforjudge.com. What her resume can’t tell you is that Beth is refreshingly honest, extremely motivated, and a genuinely good human being.

A natural leader who has uncompromising integrity, Beth selflessly shares her knowledge and advice with others and will do anything she can to help people achieve their goals. She is a very well-rounded person, and is just as comfortable at a black-tie event in a gown as she is on her tractor in jeans. She has the rare gift of not only being extremely intelligent, but also possesses common sense and street smarts. She is extremely resourceful, consistently dependable, and always leaves things and people in a better state than when she found them.

All of these qualities come naturally to her and are what will make her a great MDJ.

Finally, her passion for helping make the district a better place to live is genuine. Prior to this campaign, she devoted a significant amount time and effort to understanding the problems in district by speaking with community leaders, elected officials, police and law enforcement officers, business owners, nonprofit and church leaders, parents, teachers and others.

It is for all these reasons that I have given Beth my formal endorsement for Magisterial District Judge and I urge you to join me in supporting her.
