Joe Dujmic, candidate for the 10th Assembly District, today received the endorsement of United States Senator Charles Schumer.

"Our hard-working families on Long Island need a strong advocate in the State Assembly. They need someone who will be an independent voice; someone who will be a tireless representative and someone who will fight for their best interests. Joe Dujmic is the right choice for New York's 10th Assembly District and I wholeheartedly endorse him." -- Senator Chuck Schumer

"Senator Schumer knows the concerns of middle class taxpayers and is a hard-working advocate who went to the halls of government for one reason: to make a change for the better. I am deeply honored that Senator Schumer has endorsed my candidacy and I look forward to working together on behalf of the people of Long Island," said Dujmic.

Charles E. "Chuck" Schumer is the senior United States Senator from New York State. Schumer was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1998 and was subsequently re-elected in 2004 and 2010.
