About Judge Mullin… 
It has been an honor to succeed the Honorable William (Bill) Rose as your Town of Onondaga Justice. I seek your support to continue to serve on the bench as Town Justice with your vote this Fall.
My wife, Patty, and I have lived in the Town of Onondaga for 33 years. This is where we raised our four children. During my career as an attorney, I have worked tirelessly in the legal profession and have always believed it is necessary to be of service to your community and town.

As President, I led the successful construction campaign of the award-winning expansion of the library. This considerable undertaking for our Town resulted in recognition in surveys as one of the best libraries in the county and brought about massive growth for our community library.
- Officer of the Executive Board of Trustees, Make-A-Wish Central New York: served as a volunteer and presently as an officer of the Executive Board of Trustees. This most rewarding service results in granting wishes to children in need.
