Zeldin announced his endorsement for O'Connor at a meeting of the Brookhaven Ward 2 Republican Club held at the Ridge firehouse.
Zeldin called O'Connor "a man of great integrity" and a "smart, experienced lawyer who will be a taxpayer watchdog as county executive."
He added that O'Connor is a candidate of "policy substance" and will focus on "bringing taxes under control."
