Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz accuses rival of breaking election law

by Joy

An insurgent candidate running in the Democratic primary for Queens district attorney is brazenly flouting election law, incumbent DA Melinda Katz charged in a new complaint.

One of Katz’s rivals, public defense lawyer Devian Daniels, has not filed papers with the state Board of Elections declaring her candidacy, nor has she submitted reports on the source of her campaign contributions or spending as legally required, according to the complaint from the DA’s campaign.

“Ms. Daniels has been a candidate for nomination for election as District Attorney of Queens County since at least March 2, 2023. Despite this candidacy, however, there is no record that she has registered a candidate committee with the BOE,” Katz campaign lawyer Vito Pitta wrote in the June 22 complaint filed with the BOE’s division of election law enforcement.

“A review of the BOE’s online Public Reporting System (“PRS”) reveals no current candidate committee established by Ms. Daniels,” the complaint adds.
