Queens DA Election: Schedule Of Upcoming Candidate Forums

QUEENS, NY — The crowded race for Queens District Attorney is ramping up. Seven candidates are traversing the borough to spread the word about this summer's election and why voters should pick them at a series of forums.

The election on June 25 is a Democratic primary but will most likely determine who succeeds Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, who began the job in 1991. Brown, who had announced he would not run for reelection, died on May 3 amid a battle with Parkinson's Disease.
