Reader endorses Tenoglia for judge

Dear Editor,

I am writing in support of Christopher Tenoglia who is running for the office of Common Pleas Judge. I have known Chris for more than 15 years. We first met when he was a volunteer coach for my daughters T-ball team. It was there that I first saw his passion for life. He then became our family attorney, which he was for more than 15 years.

However, it was not until three years ago that I got a true feel for Chris’ commitment to this community. I was working for a plastics plant in West Virginia. The owner of that company became ill and was going to have to close the plant. That would mean I would be out of work and have to find another way to support my family. I offered to buy the plant, and my old boss agreed. I went to several banks and could not get enough financing, so I called Chris and asked if he would like to be a partner in my plan. Chris jumped in with both feet. His only request was that we locate the plant in Meigs County.

Chris risked everything he owns to try and bring jobs to this county when he made that investment in our company. We have now been open for a little over two years and in addition to my family, we now employ 14 other people and hope to continue to expand here in Tuppers Plains.

Chris has a great sense of community and pride in Meigs County. Please support Chris in his run for judge. He will make all of us proud.
