Assembly colleagues in his burgeoning run for Attorney General.
Francine DelMonte, Barbara Lifton, Donna Lupardo, William Magee, William Parment and Addie Russell sent out an endorsement letter\Friday calling Brodsky "a man of character and judgment" who "stands up for powerful interest groups on behalf of regular people."
They called him a "leader in state reform," and highlighted his recent sponsoring of the 2009 Public Authorities Reform Act, which -- according to Brodsky's website -- will save the state enormous sums of money while bringing transparency and accountability to New York's 700+ public authorities.
Assemblyman Brodsky is currently on his first upstate tour of his campaign. is Democratic Party opponent, Eric Dinallo, has garnered the support of 18 county chairs, most from upstate New York. They are both fighting to replace current Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is expected to run for Governor, although he has yet to make an official announcement.
