QUEENS DA PRIMARY
Northwest Queens carries Cabán to top of race
Just 11 percent of borough’s registered Democrats bothered to show up on Primary Day
BY JACOB KAYE
Every vote counted in
the race for the Democratic
nomination for Queens district
attorney – although every vote
has yet to be counted.
With the majority
of precincts reporting,
progressive candidate Tiffany
Cabán holds about 1,100 votes
more than her closest rival,
Queens Borough President
Melinda Katz, according to
the unofficial results provided
by the New York City Board of
Elections as of 11 a.m. on June
26.
Despite the tight margin,
Cabán declared victory last
night in front of a crowd of
supporters in Woodside. A
closer look at the votes across
the borough shows the same.
Across Queens, turnout
was low. Only about 11 percent
of active registered Democrats
cast a ballot in the election.

But when they did turn out,
they turned out for Cabán.
Queens Assembly District
36, which encompasses most of
Astoria, had the highest voter
turnout at 17 percent. It’s also
where Cabán saw her largest
margin of victory. Taking
in about 6,100 votes, Cabán
dwarfed Katz’s 1,011 votes in
the same district, a difference
of a little more than 5,000
votes.
The district with the second
highest turnout, District 37,
gave Cabán around 4,700 votes.
Katz came in with about 1,400
votes in the district, which
is comprised of Long Island
City and parts of Sunnyside,
Maspeth and Ridgewood.
Even when turnout was low,
the 31-year-old public defender
built her lead, little by little.
Although only about 6.5
percent of eligible voters
showed up to the polls in the
District 38, the lowest turnout
in Queens, Cabán snagged
about 400 more votes than
Katz. The district includes
areas of Woodhaven, Glendale
and Richmond Hill.
Katz, who has refused to
concede the race until every
paper ballot has been counted,
saw her largest margin of
victory in District 32, made
up of parts of Richmond Hill,
Jamaica, South Jamaica
and Springfield Gardens. In
the district, Katz got about
3,100 votes to Cabán’s 1,110, a
difference of about 2,000 votes.
While Cabán’s unofficial
victory stands, about 3,400
absentee and affidavit ballots
have yet to be counted and
won’t be until July 3.
When you’re ready
to feel better,
we’re right around
the corner.
