Shortly after announcing a candidacy for district attorney of Queens, public defender Tiffany Cabán attended a rally demanding reform from the DA’s office. “If I weren’t running, I’d be up there with a sign,” she told the Queens Daily Eagle. “We need to hear the community’s voices and that’s the approach the DA’s office needs to be taking.”
Cabán claimed victory in the Democratic primary on Election Night last week. As of publication, she leads Queens Borough President Melinda Katz by 1,199 votes, with approximately 6,300 ballots left to be counted. If she retains her lead, she would be favored to win the general election in this heavily Democratic county.
