Vance Faces Write-In Challenger as Weinstein Scandal Mounts

July 24, 2024 | admin

(DNAINF))  Noah Horowitz | October 12, 2017 — A failed candidate for Brooklyn District Attorney has tossed his hat into the ring as a write-in candidate against Manhattan DA Cy Vance, who has come under withering fire this week for declining to prosecute disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein.

Marc Fliedner, a left-wing former prosecutor who was knocked out of the running in the Brooklyn Democratic primary in September, announced Wednesday that he hopes to unseat Vance, who will appear on the ballot unopposed on Nov. 7.

“No one should run unopposed, especially as it relates to the district attorney, which has no term limits and a long history of becoming entrenched for decades,” Fliedner told DNAinfo New York.

“When a district attorney runs unopposed there becomes a real danger of developing a culture of either overt corruption or a corruption of complacency,” the challenger added.
