NY: Christopher McGrath, Gary Carlton cross-endorsed for Supreme Court justice seats
The chairmen of the Nassau County Republican and Democratic committees have agreed to cross-endorse candidates for State Supreme Court, a practice that critics deride as backroom dealing but party leaders say is fair for both sides.
The parties nominated Christopher McGrath of Hewlett Harbor, a Republican, and Democratic District Court Judge Gary Carlton of Valley Stream. Because they are running unopposed in the Nov. 7 general election, both are expected to join the bench next year and replace retiring State Supreme Court Justices Gary Knobel and Jerome Murphy.
The justices serve 14-year terms.
