NEW YORK—Queens Borough President Melinda Katz celebrated her victory over opponent Tiffany Cabán on Aug. 7, as the Democratic nominee for Queens district attorney.

“I think that I have a job to do for the people of Queens,“ said Katz at a press conference in Queens. ”I was duly elected by a plurality of this borough after a very long election day that’s finally come to an end. We will make sure that there is justice and equity in this borough.”
