WHITE PLAINS – Attorney John Sarcone III, a Republican, announced his bid for New York State Attorney General, in front of the Westchester County Courthouse this past weekend. Sarcone has served as the attorney for the town of Eastchester, in Westchester County and town attorney for the Town of Cornwall in Orange County.
“New York is in trouble,” said Sarcone. “Our state has seen better days – with rampant crime and a revolving door built into our judicial system letting violent criminals back on the streets after they’re caught.”
He took a moment to chastise Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James, saying, “I’m unafraid of keeping the Empire State safe, secure and strong – and unlike the incumbent, I have actual courtroom experience.” James has announced her intention to run for governor.
“Defunding the police isn’t the answer. Allowing rapists the right to obtain personal information of their victims is just insane. We have a public safety crisis in our state, and I’m the experienced leader who can turn the tide for our families, our seniors, and for our state,” he added.
Sarcone is in private practice in Croton-on-Hudson.
