Schneiderman nominated for second term
MELVILLE, N.Y.— New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has been nominated for a second term by the state Democratic Party.
Schneiderman won the endorsement Wednesday at the state Democratic Convention on Long Island. He faces John Cahill, a former top aide to former Gov. George Pataki, in the fall election.
The 59-year-old says he’s worked to go after corruption and fraudulent business practices while protecting the rights of citizens. Schneiderman is a former state lawmaker who was elected the state’s top law enforcement official in 2010.
