I'm Eliza Orlins. I'm a public defender, an outspoken advocate for New York's most vulnerable, and I'm running to be Manhattan's next District Attorney. For more than a decade, I've represented over 3,000 New Yorkers who otherwise would not have been able to afford a lawyer. Now, I'm running to hold bad cops, bad landlords, and the rich and powerful accountable — and to reform a criminal legal system that is rigged against our Black and Brown neighbors and those in lower-income communities. You can check out my policy platforms at my website, elizaorlins.com — and if you're so inclined, you can also send us a few dollars there so that we can keep up our grassroots momentum in this race. I can't wait to answer your questions!
