For Immediate Release – February 3, 2014

(MONROE, NY) – Village of Monroe Mayor James C. Purcell has announced his endorsement of Karl A. Brabenec for New York State Assembly in the 98th district.

“With the many life-changing issues and challenges facing our village today, we need a strong advocate in Albany in the coming years to fight for the best interests of our residents,” said Purcell. “I’ve known Karl for years, I’ve worked closely with him, and I truly believe that he will be a great representative for us in Albany. Karl has a proven track record, as a government official, of consensus and reform.”

“I’m honored to have Mayor Purcell’s support,” said Brabenec. “The challenges we face in Albany are too big and too important to let petty partisan politics get in the way. I have a record of bipartisan leadership that’s delivered results for my constituents in Deerpark. I’m looking forward to doing the same in Albany to reform our broken government, to lower taxes and create jobs.”

The 98th district seat was vacated earlier this year when Annie Rabbitt resigned to take the position of Orange County Clerk. The 98th district includes the towns of Monroe, Warwick, Deerpark, Greenville, Minisink, Tuxedo, portions of Ramapo, and the City of Port Jervis.Karl Brabenec has been the Deerpark Town Supervisor since 2010. He announced his candidacy for the Assembly seat in December and has also received the endorsements of the Deerpark, Port Jervis, and Minisink Republican Committees.
