After Sunday’s Columbus Day Parade through West Haverstraw, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., will stop marching and hand-shaking long enough to endorse two Democrats for local offices in the Nov. 6 election.
The senator will put his name behind Thomas Zugibe for Rockland district attorney and Tim O’Neill for sheriff.
Schumer will meet with the two candidates at 3 p.m. in front of the school district building on Railroad and Cosgrove avenues near the firehouse.
In the November election, Zugibe is looking to unseat Republican District Attorney Michael Bongiorno, while O’Neill is taking on Republican Sheriff James Kralik. Zugibe is a former prosecutor and West Haverstraw village justice. O’Neill is a Clarkstown detective sergeant and Stony Point councilman.
Zugibe was pleased with the campaign boost.
“Sen. Schumer is one of the most respected members of the U.S. Senate,” Zugibe said. “I am very honored to receive the endorsement from a man of his stature.”
