Manhattan District Attorney Candidate Diana Florence Meets And Speaks To Roosevelt Island Residents At Farmers Market Last Saturday - Watch Video Of What She Has To Say

Diana Florence is among the candidates seeking to replace Cy Vance as Manhattan District Attorney. According to Ms Florence's website:
Diana Florence began her career as a prosecutor 25 years ago in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, putting people first. There she fought for people who never thought they’d win, going after powerful interests and large scale corruption. She won landmark convictions against companies and individuals for defrauding 9/11 charities, terrorizing the elderly, domestic violence, wage theft, and deadly work conditions. She held powerful interests accountable by prosecuting developers and construction companies for cheating workers and taxpayers. In a historic case against Harco Construction, she ultimately secured justice for the family of a 22 year-old construction worker, Carlos Moncayo, who was buried alive at work....
