Political Corruption

• Investigate Crooked Politicians: We will use the full power of the District Attorney’s office to investigate powerful political interests including the Trump Administration, without fear or favor.

• Investigate “Pay to Play”: We will investigate and pursue individuals, companies and special interest groups that seek to corrupt our state and local politics.

• Practice Ethical Campaign Finance: Our campaign will refuse contributions from the real estate industry, legal defense firms with clients before the District Attorney’s office, or other donors whose ethics don’t align with our own.

• Stand Up for Survivors: We will create a safe and welcoming environment for survivors of sexual assault, no matter how powerful the perpetrator.

• Protect Innocent Defendants: We promise to protect the innocent from being railroaded. To this end, we will re-open the cases of Linda Fairstein, who oversaw the Central Park Five prosecution. We will also review past wrongful convictions to create stronger safeguards for the future.

• Police Accountability: We will investigate any public servant who violates the public trust, including police commanders and officers. Moreover, we will strive to improve police integrity in the criminal legal process by keeping officers with questionable histories from testifying.

• Protect Immigrants: As the proud son of immigrant parents, Marton will use the power of the District Attorney’s office to protect immigrants and break up the deportation pipeline. That means every department in the office will consider the immigration consequences of its prosecutions and be trained on practices that both keep our communities safe and keep families together.
