Queens district attorney race heats up after challenger calls for Katz to reject court officers unio
With less than five months to go until the Democratic primary, the gloves have come off in the Queens district attorney race.
Challenger George Grasso is calling on Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz to rescind her endorsement from the New York State Court Officers Association (NYSCOA) and repudiate its president Dennis Quirk.
The union leader was suspended from his position as a court officer in August 2021, after he published the home address and vacation home address of then-Chief Judge Janet DiFiore on social media after a dispute over COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Grasso, who retired as the administrative judge of Queens Supreme Court, Criminal Term, in August to challenge Katz, said Quirk endangered DiFiore and her family by releasing the personal information approximately one year after her name and photo were found in the possession of an anti-feminist gunman, who opened fire into the New Jersey home of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, killing her son and wounding her husband in July 2020.
