NYC Bar rates 6 of 7 Democrats ‘Approved’ for Queens DA
The New York City Bar Association rated six of seven Democratic candidates for Queens district attorney as “approved” in an official announcement Friday, less than three weeks before the June 25 primary. Public defender Tiffany Cabán, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, Councilmember Rory Lancman, former Judge Gregory Lasak, former Queens prosecutor Mina Malik and former Brooklyn prosecutor Jose Nieves were each rated as “approved.” The NYC Bar ratings contrasted the ratings of the Queens County Bar Association, which determined that Cabán was “not qualified” for the role of Queens’ prosecutor. Both associations interviewed candidates at the same time on May 21.
