Fighting political corruption in Albany is what Republican candidate Daniel M. Donovan Jr. says will be his top priority should he be elected the next New York Attorney General. Vying for the top prosecutor’s seat, along with five Democratic hopefuls, the Staten Island District Attorney spoke candidly with editors of Anton Community Newspapers during a recent visit to Long Island.

A native Staten Islander, Donovan, 53, worked his way through college at St. John’s University, and took on student loans while attending Fordham Law School at night. Prior to being elected district attorney, Donovan served for eight years under Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau. After leaving Morgenthau’s office, Donovan began serving Staten Island in 1996 as chief of staff to then Borough President Guy V. Molinari who is a former member of Congress. In January 2002, Mr. Donovan was appointed deputy borough president, serving under Borough President James P. Molinaro. As a candidate for district attorney in 2003, he defeated the chief assistant of the outgoing district attorney, who had held his position for more than 20 years. He was reelected in 2007 and received 68 percent of the vote where Democrats outnumber Republicans 5 to 3, according to Donovan.
