Mahoney Backs Donovan For AG
Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney is throwing her support behind fellow Republican Dan Donovan for attorney general.
The endorsement comes six days before the election and 21 days after she broke ranks with the GOP and announced her support of Democrat Andrew Cuomo for governor.
“Dan Donovan will be a great Attorney General, said Mahoney in a statement released by the Donovan campaign.
“He has the experience and leadership we need at this critical time in New York State’s History. Medicaid is an unsustainable burden on all county governments and reform is a necessary priority. I am happy to endorse Dan Donovan because he will be the strong voice we need in Albany to bring true change.”
Mahoney took a considerable amount of flak for her backing Cuomo over Republican Carl Paladino.
She appeared on Capital Tonight with Ken Adams of the Business Council the day of the announcement and explained her decision to Liz B.
