Rabbitt: To run for Senate
GOSHEN – Orange County Clerk Annie Rabbitt will announce tomorrow
(Monday) that she will run for the State Senate seat this fall with the
retirement of John Bonacic of Mount Hope.
Rabbitt and Bonacic are both Republicans. A former state assemblywoman
from Warwick, Rabbitt is expected to officially announce her candidacy
in Goshen.
Following Bonacic’s retirement announcement two weeks ago, Rabbitt
was approached by party leadership on the local and state levels and urged
to run.
In the interim, State Assemblyman Karl Brabenec, a Deerpark Republican,
said he would run for the Senate seat.
Two Democrats have announced their candidacy for the 42nd District Senate
post – Rosendale Town Councilwoman Jen Metzger and CPV opponent
Pramilla Malik of Wawayanda.
