The Chief Assistant District Attorney for Schuyler County has announced he wants to become the county’s next District Attorney.
Jeremy Hourihan announced his candidacy just days after his boss, District Attorney Joseph Fazzary, announced he would retire at the end of his term at the end of the year. Fazzary said he is fully endorsing Hourihan for the job.
Hourihan has served as Chief Assistant District Attorney since 2020. Before that, he worked as a civil litigator in private practice and as an Assistant District Attorney in the Chemung County District Attorney’s Office. Beyond his legal career, Hourihan serves on the Board of Directors for the FLX Gateway Community Development Corporation, is a member of the Watkins-Montour Rotary Club, and is part of the Schuyler County Coalition on Underage Drinking and Drugs.
Hourihan is the first candidate to announce their intention to run for District Attorney.
