. He says his vast law enforcement experience makes him, not Katz, the person to make the streets safe.
"This is exactly what we don't need in a district attorney whose borough has violent felony major index crimes up over 50% or more during her tenure," Grasso said. "I think we have to stop playing politics with people's lives, and the district attorney's job needs a temperament and needs complex thinking, not simplistic arguments to cherry pick data to make someone's case. Murder is down 41% here in Queens County. It is down 13% in the rest of the city," Katz said.
Both challengers think they have Katz worried. Daniels claims she was offered two judgeships to get out of the race and Grasso claims Katz has been calling people who donated to his campaign and asking why they are supporting him.
