Queens DA beat candidate Melinda Katz beat Socialist Candidate Tiffany Cabán’s by 55 votes in 2019. Cabán’s platform includes efforts to defund the police, curb or eliminate “broken windows” and community policing, decriminalizing sex work and reduce the number of jails, prisons, and inmates,” raise city income taxes on the wealthy; allow illegal immigrants the right to vote and supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel. After Cabán was endorsed in the DA race by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez every vote was needed to defeat her. Cabán is proposing a radical overhaul of the prosecutor’s office, which was known for aggressive crimefighting during late DA Richard Brown’s 27-year tenure. She subscribes to a growing liberal school of thought that emphasizes social services over convictions.
