Clarification Regarding Unendorsed Candidates for Suffolk Offices
The Suffolk Democratic Committee has not endorsed a candidate for Commissioner of Revenue or Sheriff in the Suffolk elections of 2025.
One candidate, Bishop Staten, is referring to himself as the "Democratic Candidate". While the Suffolk Democratic Committee has no issue with Mr. Staten referring to himself as Democrat, the phrase "Democratic Candidate" implies a political procedure which has not occurred.
We therefore feel compelled to clarify our neutrality in races where we have not made an endorsement. Individual members are free to express their personal opinions.
Please refer to our "Vote" page for more information about our candidates.
