PRESS RELEASE:

ALBANY - The Working Families Party announced today the endorsement of Murray Carr for Albany County Surrogate’s Court Judge, citing his broad experience representing Albany County citizens.

Karen Scharff, Co-Chair of Capital District Working Families said: "Carr has an impressive record of experience as an attorney in all of the local trial courts. He has effectively represented county residents of all stripes, including working on behalf of the elderly and veterans."

Scharff also said Carr was "committed to running an impartial and fair court including distributing court appointments fairly and equitably to all qualified attorneys, and not limiting the bulk of fee-generating appointments to a small pool of attorneys."

“I am honored that the Working Families Party has selected me as their candidate for Albany County Surrogate Court Judge,” said Murray Carr. “I am pleased to continue the Working Families Party’s tradition of candidates with the knowledge, experience and integrity necessary for public office.”
