McAllister won the Sept. 12 GOP primary with a solid margin,
2,988 -2,665.
"The Hornell Republican Committee is proud to endorse
Patrick McAllister for Steuben County Surrogate Court Judge,” said Hornell City
Alderman Jessica Cleveland (Ward 6). “Pat has served our local area well as an
attorney for over 35 years, most recently as the Steuben County Assistant District
Attorney.
“Pat has demonstrated he has the experience, integrity, and
hard work ethic that will be so valued in this position. We were pleased to see
a well-run, grassroots campaign with Pat making many personal visits, knocking
on doors and introducing himself to the residents in the Hornell community. It
is clear Pat values the people of Steuben county, including the Hornell
community, and we are proud to provide him with our endorsement." A former Steuben County legislator, McAllister also has worked
for municipalities and school districts and maintains a private practice.
His work in Steuben’s Surrogate Court includes the probate
and administration of estates and all aspects of guardianship proceedings and
adoptions. He also has experience in felony matters and Family Court, where he
has represented hundreds of children.
McAllister looks to fill the vacancy left by county Judge
Marianne Furfure, who will retire after 20 years on the bench.
