ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – A large gathering of supporters braved cold temperatures, high winds and snow squalls, to join Rockland Democratic Committee Chair Schenley Vital as he announced a slate of four county wide candidates running for public office in 2024: Judge Rachel Tanguay for New York State Supreme Court Justice, Hon. Donna Gorman Silberman for re-election as the Rockland County Clerk, Judge David Ascher for Rockland County Court Judge and Judge Djinsad Desir for Rockland County Court Judge.

Judge Tanguay seeks election to the New York State Supreme Court, Ninth Judicial District, a court that handles a variety of civil law cases. She currently serves as a Rockland County Family Court Judge and Acting Supreme Court Justice. Judge Tanguay has presided over Family Court matters since 2016, and prior to that was Principal Law Clerk to the Hon. Sherri L. Eisenpress, now elected to the New York State Supreme Court. Judge Tanguay previously ran her own law practice handling family and civil law cases, as well as worked for a local law firm.

County Clerk Donna Gorman Silberman is running for re-election as the Rockland County Clerk, having served in that position since 2021. Ms. Silberman has implemented many new services, including a new public access counter making access to the County Clerk’s Office services easier than ever before. She has enhanced the electronic filing system so that users can access 80% of all documents filed in the office online 24 hours a day. Within the next few months, Ms. Silberman will be launching her newly created mobile passport office.

Judge David Ascher seeks election to the Rockland County Court, a court that hears felony criminal matters. He currently serves as a Clarkstown Town Justice, as well as running a busy law practice in New City, NY since 2005. Judge Ascher has presided over a variety of criminal and civil cases filed in Clarkstown since becoming a Town Justice in 2015. He also previously worked as a Village Prosecutor and Assistant District Attorney, both in Rockland County.

Judge Djinsad Desir also seeks election to the Rockland County Court. He currently serves as a Ramapo Town Justice, while working as Principal Law Clerk to the Honorable Larry Schwartz, who presided over the Rockland County Court from 2017-2023 and is now elected to the New York State Supreme Court. Judge Desir also served as a Spring Valley Village Justice from 2013-2021. As a local Justice, Judge Desir has presided over criminal and civil cases filed in both the Village of Spring Valley and the Town of Ramapo. Prior to working for the court system, Judge Desir worked as an Associate Attorney for Vernon & Ginsburg in New York City and as a Staff Attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Rockland County.
