NEW YORK – As the Schneiderman campaign continues its surge, Assemblymember Dov Hikind endorsed Eric Schneiderman for Attorney General, citing his “proven track record” and naming him as the “clear choice for the Jewish community.”

“Eric Schneiderman is the clear choice for the Jewish community and all New Yorkers to be our next Attorney General,” said Assemblymember Dov Hikind. “Eric is a tough, smart and effective leader who will fight for justice every day. As a lawyer and a lawmaker, Eric has a proven track record of leadership and he will be an outstanding attorney general.”

With widespread support from a broad and diverse coalition of progressive New Yorkers, the New York Times, the state’s largest labor union, 1199/SEIU United Healthcare East and the largest private-sector union, 32BJ and Citizen Action, momentum is growing for Schneiderman’s campaign to be the state’s next Attorney General.

To date, Schneiderman has earned the endorsement of over 100 progressive leaders, prominent community activists, and labor unions including the Hotel Trades Council, UAW and the Uniformed Sanitationmen’s Association.
