Incumbent Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz is facing two challengers in this year's Democratic primary as she attempts to clinch a second term, with former Judge George Grasso and public defender Devian Daniels also in the fray.

Katz scraped by with a primary victory in 2019—though that field had seven candidates—narrowly beating contender Tiffany Caban by just 60 votes. The longtime politician went on to overwhelmingly win the general election, taking over an office long steered by the staunchly reform-averse Richard Brown, who helmed the office for nearly 30 years before his death.
