Bronx Dems Endorse DA Darcel Clark for Re-election
By Robert Press
Bronx Democratic county leader Assemblyman Marcos Crespo was joined by members of the City Council and New York State Assembly, district leaders, and state committee members from around the borough, plus civic leaders to announce support of incumbent Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark for re-election. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who represents Wakefield and Olinville sections, was absent because he was in Albany finalizing negotiations on the state budget. Bronx senators was also unable to attend because they were also upstate for an ealy session day.
Elected and party officials stood at the podium to praise Ms. Clark and the great job she has done as Bronx District Attorney. One by one, each voiced support for Darcel Clark in her bid for another term as Bronx DA.

Recently, the upcoming party primary was moved from September to match the federal elections which take place in June every two years. The petition process to get on the primary ballot began in February and ends in the first week of April. It is unlikely that District Attorney Clark will face a primary challenger but she may face token opposition from the other political party candidates in the November general election.
Joining DA Clark on Democratic nominating petitions are Civil Court Judge nominees Matthew P. Raso, Michael A. Frishman, and Jessica L. Bourbon. Also, a slate of Judicials Delegates and Alternates will be on the primary ballot in each Assembly District.
