Delaware County Sheriff Craig DuMond endorsed Congressman Marc Molinaro in his reelection in New York’s 19th Congressional District.

In Congress, Marc Molinaro has proudly supported law enforcement and fought to strengthen public safety. He’s supported legislation to combat Albany’s bail reform and close the border, and has delivered federal resources for local law enforcement.

Sheriff DuMond said, “Last year, tragedy struck Delaware County. An illegal immigrant who was arrested for DWI and released because of bail reform traveled to our community and went on to rape and strangle a young woman. Marc Molinaro has been at the forefront of fixing this mess. He’s fought back against bail reform, fought to close our border, and is fighting to deliver law enforcement the resources and support they need. Marc Molinaro has my full endorsement.”

“I’m so thankful to Sheriff DuMond for his support,” said Molinaro. “I’m unapologetic about where I stand. I’m pro-police, anti-bail reform and fully supportive of closing our border. My opponent, Josh Riley, got us into the mess we’re in. He fought in D.C. for open borders and is backed by a radical group that advocates for defunding the police and Albany’s bail reform law. That’s the choice this November.” 

Molinaro was also endorsed by four maritime labor unions. 

The endorsement came in a joint letter from Willie Barrere, president of American Maritime Officers; Dave Heindel, president of Seafarers International Union of North America; Don Marcus, president of International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots; and Adam Vokac, president of Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association. 

“As a member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, we are grateful for Congressman Molinaro’s unwavering support to ensure the long-term viability and competitiveness of America’s maritime industry,” the union presidents wrote. “This is evident through his advocacy for the Jones Act, providing full funding for the Maritime Security Program, and ensuring strong enforcement and compliance of U.S.-flag cargo preference laws. Moreover, his open dialogue with our unions and willingness to listen to the concerns of maritime labor have been greatly appreciated.”
