Rockland Democratic Committee and Clarkstown Democratic Committee Statements on Legislator Sparaco Arrest

New City, New York –

“Frank Sparaco clearly deserves the benefit of the doubt in a court of law. However, his constituents deserve to be represented by a legislator who can focus on their needs rather than his upcoming trial. In light of the 40 charges he faces, Mr. Sparaco needs to step down. As Rockland grapples with critical financial issues, the people of Congers and Valley Cottage deserve honest, effective, and undistracted representation that FrankSparaco cannot provide.”

— Stephanie Hausner, Clarkstown Democratic Committee Chair

“The 40-count indictment against Frank Sparaco is deeply disturbing, though not all that surprising in light of the sordid history of corruption on the part of his mother-in-law and former attorney. He should, obviously, resign from office immediately.”

— Theodore Van Nahl Collins, Executive Director, Rockland County Democratic Committee
