Cheryl Lopez is honored to have the endorsement of Judge Christopher Odette (Ret.), a highly respected member of the Genesee County legal community who served more than three decades on the 67th District Court bench, including over 12 years as Chief Judge.

Throughout his career, Judge Odette built a reputation for fairness, professionalism, and a deep respect for the law. Attorneys, litigants, and members of the legal community consistently recognized his commitment to upholding the integrity of the court and treating every individual with dignity.

During his time on the bench, Judge Odette observed Cheryl Lopez in his courtroom on many occasions. His endorsement reflects firsthand experience with her work, her professionalism, and her approach to the practice of the law.

Judge Odette’s decision to offer his support is especially meaningful, as he remained largely outside of the political process and has not previously endorsed a candidate for this position.

Cheryl is deeply grateful for Judge Odette’s mentorship, his example of judicial integrity, and the trust he has placed in her candidacy. She is committed to carrying forward the same dedication to fairness, respect, and service to the community that defined his career.
