Simcha Eichenstein, candidate for the New York State Assembly, was endorsed by Thomas P. DiNapoli, the Comptroller of the State of New York. Eichenstein worked for the State Comptroller earlier in his career, from 2010-2014.

“Simcha Eichenstein is hardworking, honest and dedicated—three qualities that every elected official should possess,” said DiNapoli. “As a former Senior Advisor in my office, I always knew he was a rising star and I’m proud to endorse him for his first run for elected office. I am confident Simcha will make an excellent Assemblyman.”

Eichenstein expressed his deep appreciation to DiNapoli, who he credits as an important teacher of his during his career. “Serving as a Senior Advisor to the State Comptroller allowed me to gain a keen understanding of how the State budget works as well as the minutia of how the State of New York interacts with the various branches of government,” he said. “Tom was an invaluable teacher and is a genuine mensch who I was proud to work for. I am very honored by his endorsement and look forward to our continued friendship and working relationship on behalf of our constituents.”

Both DiNapoli and Eichenstein urged voters to turn out in strong numbers on Tuesday, November 6.
