Staten Island DA Donovan wins U.S. House seat

Daniel Donovan, the Staten Island district attorney who empaneled the grand jury that didn't indict the police officer who placed Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold, was elected Tuesday to fill a congressional seat left vacant when the incumbent pleaded guilty to tax fraud. Donovan, who will keep the seat in the GOP's hands, defeated Democratic City Councilman Vincent Gentile in a low-turnout special election to succeed Michael Grimm.
