THE CROTON CHRONICLE - MARCH 18, 2025

Croton's John Sarcone, the new U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York, takes the oath of office.

"I believe the prosecutorial power, and discretion, is best entrusted to those with the full breath of professional and life experiences, from which common sense, wisdom and informed judgment emerge."

As we reported earlier this month, conservative attorney John Sarcone, who has deep family roots in Croton, has been appointed the new U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York by the Department of Justice. He was sworn in yesterday at the James T. Foley U.S. Courthouse in Albany and made the following remarks, which we publish in full.

    Thank you, Chief Judge Sannes. Thank you to the Judges of the Northern District of New York, to Clerk of the Court John Domurad, and to First Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Hanlon, who has ably assisted me with the onboarding process.

    I would like to first thank my family for the support and love throughout my life and career, My Wife Cecilia and Children who could not join us today, John Anthony (a Junior at Penn State) and Francesca (a freshman at the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina) and Juliet, a sophomore at Croton Harmon High School who is missing school to be here.

    Also present are my Mom Deann, my sister Jennifer Genes, Aunt Jane Fiorito and cousins Bill and Janet Tuttle, Cousin Bruce Fiorito and his wife Lorraine, thank you for your steadfast support.
