Politics on the Hudson

Democratic attorney general candidate Eric Dinallo released his first television ad today, narrated by actor John Leguizamo, and touts his endorsement from New York Daily News and experience working in the office as a deputy to Eliot Spitzer.

Spitzer, in fact, is shown in the ad standing next to Dinallo. There’s another shot of Dinallo with Attorney General and gubernatorial frontrunner Andrew Cuomo.

“We’re down to the last two weeks of this primary and the race is wide open. Eric’s opponents have already spent millions of dollars on TV ads, and have taken tons of desperate, cheap shots at each other – all to get some headlines,” an email from Dinallo’s campaign manager, John Kenny, states.

He continued, “Eric Dinallo, the only candidate who has served in the Attorney General’s office, stood up to Wall Street, sent violent felons to prison, and held insurance companies accountable, is the one candidate who will win.”
