In an off election year, one of the most closely watched races is the Democratic primary for Queens district attorney. The seven-candidate field pits Melinda Katz, the Queens borough president who has significant establishment support, against Tiffany Cabán, a public defender who has been embraced by progressives.
The race has also garnered attention and endorsements from political heavyweights and the press, with Rep. Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez and The New York Times backing Cabán and Katz garnering the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Of course, there are five other candidates in the mix: New York City Councilman Rory Lancman, former judge Gregory Lasak and attorneys Betty Lugo, Jose Nieves and Mina Malik.
While only registered Democrats in Queens can cast a ballot in the election on Tuesday, June 25, this week we’re asking all of our readers to weigh in on the race by voting in this week’s online poll.
