Former Queens prosecutor Mina Malik  is one of the more experienced candidates running for Queens DA.

She's been on both sides of the criminal justice system, as a prosecutor with the Queens District Attorney’s office for 15 years, a defense investigator, and reformer. Most recently she served as the Deputy Attorney General for Public Safety at the Office of the Attorney General for Washington, D.C.

On April 8, she sat down with The Wave's Editor In Chief Mark C. Healey to discuss why she's the best person for the job.
