He’s on fire today.
Supporters of Manhattan DA hopeful Richard Aborn have erected hand-painted signs like this one touting his candidacy at subway stations and high-traffic poll sites in Upper Manhattan.
Aborn waited until today to write his most eloquent explanation for why he’s running, over at the Huffington Post:
As one much-read columnist wrote in a piece called “The Richard Aborn Experiment,” referring to our progressive agenda for a law enforcement office: “Unusually, he’s betting that he can win a race for a crime-fighting post not by appealing to the public’s fear of rising crime, but by focusing on traditional liberal ideas about the rehabilitation of prisoners and the root causes of criminal misconduct. He talks about the need to “break the cycle of violence” and of “rejecting those methodologies that have a high likelihood of making people into career criminals.”
There’s a lot of good reasons to support Aborn for Manhattan D.A. My favorite – he’s a true progressive with fresh ideas.
