FOR U.S. CONGRESS | NY-12
Attorney. Professor. Advocate. Committed to restoring safety and transparency to Manhattan.
Patrick is committed to reversing "soft-on-crime" policies. He advocates for increased police presence in subway cars and stations and the prosecution of fare evasion as a deterrent to more serious crimes.
Addressing high case dismissal rates is a priority. Patrick believes the District Attorney's office must be efficient in discovery and evidence handling to ensure "bullies and bad guys" aren't released due to administrative failures.
As a lifelong Manhattanite, Patrick is dedicated to protecting all residents regardless of race, religion, or gender. He proposes ramping up resources for the investigation and full prosecution of hate crimes.
Patrick supports a "second chance" for those who have paid their debt to society. He advocates for expungement programs that scrub the records of rehabilitated individuals to help them reintegrate into the workforce.
Public safety isn't just about prosecution; it's about the victims. Patrick’s platform includes expanding trauma-informed programs and ensuring a strong, ethical working relationship between the NYPD and victims.
