SCHUMER AND SPITZER ENDORSE TOCCI

For Immediate Release

( September 4, 2002) United States Senator Charles Schumer and New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer have endorsed state Assemblyman Ron Tocci for re-election. Tocci faces a Democratic primary challenge from Noam Bramson on September 10.

“Ron Tocci is a leader – an experienced legislator who gets results for his district. His effectiveness as a senior member in the Assembly Democratic Majority yields tremendous rewards for the communities he represents – in education, environmental and health issues. I strongly support his re-election,” said Senator Schumer.

“Ron Tocci has been a leader in the fight for consumer rights. From his early advocacy for public power – battling the big utility companies – to his current efforts protecting homeowners, senior citizens and taxpayers, Ron Tocci has been a consumer champion,” said Attorney General Spitzer.

“Chuck Schumer and Eliot Spitzer are outstanding public servants,” said Tocci. “Their endorsement and friendship means a great deal to me. We’ve worked very closely together on numerous issues to fight consumer fraud and senior citizen abuse. We’re an effective team for all the people of the Sound Shore and the state of New York.”

Tocci has also been endorsed by state Senator Suzi Oppenheimer, state Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, and former U.S. Representative Richard Ottinger.
