Jim Maisano Receives Vets for New York Endorsement
Vets for New York (VFNY) today announced its support of Jim Maisano for New York State Supreme Court in the 9th Judicial District. In giving its endorsement, VFNY cited Maisano’s longstanding dedication to veterans during his tenure as Westchester County Legislator, his leadership in fighting for lower taxes and less spending, as well as his military service in the United States Marine Corps.
“We strongly support Jim Maisano for Supreme Court,” said Kieran Michael Lalor, founder of Vets for New York. He has been fighting for fiscal responsibility for over a decade as a legislator. As a former Marine, he has a unique appreciation for the issues that veterans face and is a leader on veteran issues. We are impressed that Jim was one of the veterans that originally brought the need for legislation providing property tax relief for cold war veterans to the New York State Legislature. Jim’s advocacy helped pass this law in Albany. We are sure his experience as an attorney, legislator and Marine will ensure that Jim will be an excellent Supreme Court Justice.
In accepting the endorsement of VFNY, Jim Maisano said, “I’m deeply honored to receive the support of Vets for New York. The members of our military are true heroes who have bravely answered our nation’s call to duty, and I’m honored to have so many veterans supporting my campaign.” Maisano continued, “My commitment to public service began in my days in the Marine Corps and will hopefully continue on the bench as a Supreme Court Justice. My veteran supporters recognize that I will bring my military, legal and legislative experience to the courtroom each day, and I will be an independent and objective jurist that follows the law and our Constitution.”
Jim Maisano served in the United States Marine Corps from 1984 to 1988. He worked as a landing support specialist in embarkation and logistics. Jim also served as platoon sergeant, and supervised and trained a platoon of Marines. He was honorably discharged as a sergeant and received several awards and commendations during his service to our country.
