Maud Maron, a former Legal Aid attorney, is seeking the Republican Party nod next year to challenge the re-election of controversial Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg .
Maron, a 53-year-old mother of four public school kids, ran for Congress as a Democrat just two years ago.
But she left the Democratic Party, first changing her registration to independent and then re-enrolling as a Republican in October 2023.
A parent member of District 2’s Community Education Council, Maron became a lightning rod after calling for the Department of Education to conduct a public review of its policy allowing trans girls to compete against biological females in sports.
The Soho resident said her campaign is about restoring justice and safety in the city for law-abiding citizens.
