Bronx Democratic Party Chair Marcos Crespo, and Elected Officials from Across the Bronx Endorse Darcel Clark for Re-Election as Bronx District Attorney



  The Bronx Democratic County organization came out in force Friday to endorse current Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark for re-election. There were members of the City Council, New York State Assembly, various District Leaders, State Committee members, and civic activists in the crowd. The State Senate, and NY Assembly Speaker (and former Bronx Democratic County Leader) Carl Heastie were in Albany as the State Senate was in session and Speaker Heastie working on the state budget. The date of the primary has been moved up from its usual September date to match the federal primary date in June. Petitions are being gathered for Bronx DA Clark and three judges along with slates of Judicial Delegates and Alternates. The petition period began the end of February and runs through the beginning of April just after opening day for the baseball season.

Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark spoke about her accomplishments as Bronx DA, some of the items she still would like to do, and thanked those gathered for their support and the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic County organization. 
It is unlikely that incumbent DA Clark will have a June Primary, as no other Democratic petition has surfaced. DA Clark is also likely to face token opposition in the November General Election.
