Mayor Eric Adams endorsed the re-election campaign of Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz on Thursday, just eight days before early voting gets underway for the June 27 Democratic primary.
The mayor noted her work making Queens safer while also addressing wrongful convictions and making the criminal justice system stronger.
“Of course I am endorsing Melinda Katz for re-election. She understands that while we can always make policing better, we still need our police, we need to work with them, and we need them to be able to do their jobs,” Adams said. “At the same time, she is working to make our system stronger, vacating wrongful convictions, helping our youth get on the right path, engaging our community, and showing up where we need her. She is a real partner in making our city safer, and I’m proud to support her for re-election.”
