• Cy and his law firm took on the Boeing Corporation for its discriminatory pay and promotion practices towards women employees, and won.
• He has consistently sought alternatives to incarceration when warranted – please click on this link to meet a woman Cy prosecuted for drug-related offenses, who credits him with turning around her life when he advocated for treatment instead of jail.

Vance has a strong and diverse coalition of supporters telling voters that Vance is the best candidate to win this election and become the next Manhattan DA.
