Mimi Rocah, the Democratic nominee for Westchester County District Attorney, issued a statement following the announcement on Republican opponent Bruce Bendish dropping out of the race with less than 50 days left before the General Election.
“Since I launched my campaign last year, we have focused on keeping Westchester safe and criminal justice and ethics reform. Not having an opponent does not change the fact that we have a lot of work to do to ensure conviction integrity, accountability, prevent gun violence, secure justice for domestic violence victims and sexual assault survivors, and implement my revolutionary transparency plan at the Westchester County DA’s office.
“I look forward to serving all of Westchester starting January 2021. Until November 3rd — the most critical election of our lifetime — I am committed to supporting county-wide efforts to ensure no voter is disenfranchised and that every vote is counted.”
