Far Rockaway Jewish Alliance Endorses

Melinda Katz

On Friday, District Attorney Melinda Katz received the endorsement of The Far Rockaway Jewish Alliance, a local Jewish organization with deep roots in the community. The Alliance and the communities they represent are making their voices heard loud and clear that Melinda Katz is the only choice to keep our Jewish families and all families safe in Queens County.

“It is an honor to receive the endorsement of The Far Rockaway Jewish Alliance, a group I have worked with for many years and consider to be excellent partners in government,” said District Attorney Melinda Katz. “My office has cracked down on acts of antisemitism and has made it clear that antisemitic attacks will not be tolerated in Queens County. And we’ve worked hard to get guns off the streets and prosecute those who terrorize any Queens community. I look forward to building on our immense progress as we keep working to keep our families safe.”

“With acts of antisemitism on the rise, we need a District Attorney who takes these heinous crimes seriously,” said Rabbi Baruch Rothman. “District Attorney Melinda Katz not only takes these crimes seriously, but has shown a determination to prosecute criminals who target the Jewish community. We’re proud to stand with her today and en- dorse her candidacy for re-election.”

“District Attorney Melinda Katz is a partner to our organization and our community, keeping us safe and enriching our neighborhoods,” said former Assembly Member Phil Goldfeder. “DA Katz has prosecuted crime wherever it targets Queens families – taking on gangs, getting illegal guns off the streets, and putting away those who would give our families any reason to live in fear. There is no doubt that DA Katz has earned four more years, and we’ll do everything in our power to see to it that she wins in June and again in November.”

“We need leaders who care about our community and its unique needs, and in Melinda Katz we have found that leader,” said Richard Altabe. “Throughout her career, Melinda Katz has shown a serious commitment to our Jewish community, both as District Attorney and in her previous positions serving Queens families. We are endorsing DA Katz because she is the best choice to keep us safe over the next four years.”

“Whether it’s been in taking on burglaries, gangs, larceny, or hate crimes, District Attorney Katz has been a steady hand prosecuting criminals and making our communities safer as a result,“ said Elkanah Adelman. “We are proud to endorse Melinda Katz, the best choice to keep Queens safe.”
