Trump's leadership team also includes 33 Republican county chairs who have endorsed his campaign. The supporters include Dadey, who was one of the first New York chairs to endorse Trump.

"New York is my home and I am so proud to have been able to assemble such an incredible team," Trump said in a statement. "I have watched and known these people for so many years. They love New York and our country. Together, we will make America great again."

A Monmouth University poll released Wednesday found Trump leads the primary by 27 points — 52 to 25 percent — over his closest competitor, Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Trump plans to hold several campaign events in New York over the next couple of weeks. He headlined a rally on Long Island Wednesday and has scheduled appearances in Albany and Buffalo.
