The votes are in! After an extended election process, which required litigating absentee & affidavit ballots before a judge & a hand recount by the hardworking staff at the Ulster County Board of Elections, it is my great honor to serve as Ulster County’s next District Attorney!

The twin pillars of our democracy are freedom to speak our minds and one-person, one-vote. I wrote in the @WashingtonPost today about my experiences as a black man in America, and how it is imperative to utilize the instruments of democracy to make change. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

1/5: 44 DAs and AGs filed a brief in the US Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit in support of legal representation @ initial bail hearings. They recognize that having counsel when liberty is at stake is a matter of fairness and justice. fairandjustprosecution.org/w…

#LessIsMoreNY would fix how NY handles technical violations of parole -- improving public safety, advancing justice, and reducing jail & prison populations. @BrooklynDA @DavidSoaresNY @ManhattanDA & @CleggforDA support this bill.
#EndtheCycle of incarceration, PASS Less Is More!

In the Board of Elections’ final count, I have won by 78 votes — a powerful reminder that every vote truly makes a difference.
We achieved this historic win for criminal justice reform through people power & faith in a better future. Thank you for your support & for your votes!

GOP candidate Michael Kavanagh has conceded in the Ulster County DA race, saying, "I am fully confident after the legally required hand recount of all ballots that all valid votes have been counted." Dem. Dave @CleggforDA will be the new DA. @WAMCNews

My next State of the State proposal is to ban fentanyl analogs — dangerous synthetic opioids that mimic fentanyl.
Banning these substances will give our state more tools to fight the opioid crisis and keep NYers safe.

But the race is not over. There are 280 votes that have not yet been counted, and whether they are or not will be up to the Court. Based on the numbers, we all have reason to feel optimistic today and during the Thanksgiving Holiday!
