ALBANY, NY - State Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester), joined his colleagues in the Senate to confirm Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore as Chief Judge for the New York State Court of Appeals in the State Capitol on Thursday.
“I have had the honor of knowing Judge DiFiore personally and have had the privilege of partnering with her on a number of criminal justice issues important to Westchester County throughout the years. As Westchester District Attorney, I worked with her to enhance her office by securing state funding for forensic advancement, as well as worked with her on ways to not only bring justice to the people, but to further reduce and prevent crime. Judge DiFiore has loyally served the public through many roles, and is well-known for her balanced approach to justice. I was proud to cast my vote in favor of her nomination as the leader of the New York State Court system,” said Senator Klein.
