Historical Note

Cabán faced Queens borough president Melinda Katz in the Democratic primary. The previous District Attorney, Richard Brown, had intended to retire after the election, but died in office shortly before the primary. On June 25, 2019, Cabán claimed victory over Katz, but with the margin of victory standing at just over one percentage point, Katz declined to concede the election. On July 3, election officials said Katz pulled ahead in the final count with a lead of just 20 votes, triggering a recount. On August 6, days after Katz was declared the ultimate victor by 60 votes, Cabán conceded the race.
