But it's up to us to make sure that whether Vance or Aborn is the next DA, those issues remain in the forefront of everyone's minds.

He gave a very strong impression that he's serious about bringing traffic safety to the forefront of improving public safety in NYC. He's got my vote too Actually shook hands with Aborn in Morningside park while I was walking my dog.

Aborn's stance on traffic justice is distinguished by more than just having "the most nuanced understanding." At the June forum he presented himself as the most engaged, the most outraged and the most committed to treating dangerous driving not as a nuisance or simply a fact of city life but as criminal activity that damages our community. Streetsblog can't endorse candidates, but I can. I believe that electing Aborn to Manhattan D.A. will be a big step toward creating a safer and more humane city.
