Now that reports are out saying 89-year-old Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau won’t seek re-election this year, there’s a vacancy in one of the most coveted offices in New York.
Already running for the seat is Morgenthau’s 2005 challenger, Leslie Crocker Snyder, who said in 2005 that Morgenthau had been in office for too long.
Also running will be Cyrus Vance, an attorney who has put together a campaign and said he’d only run if Morgenthau didn’t.
Among the people working with Snyder is pollster Doug Schoen and consultant Michael Tobman. She’s also announced a slew of endorsements from unions representing the law enforcement community.
