COOPERSTOWN – Otsego County Court Judge Brian W. Burns is seeking the nomination for retired Judge Michael Coccoma’s vacant seat on the state Supreme Court in the Sixth Judicial District, he confirmed this afternoon.
Burns was recommended for the nomination by the Otsego County Republican Committee. He has served as the acting Supreme Court judge for the Sixth Judicial District since 2006.
Because of the pandemic, only proxies for the 10 county delegates will attend a Judicial Convention Tuesday, Aug. 18, in Binghamton where the Republican nominee will be determined.
