Elizabeth Holtzman

Last updated

It was speculated that Holtzman might run in the 1976 United States Senate election in New York. [77] She said that she was "testing the voters" for a senatorial campaign on May 5, 1979. [78] On January 8, 1980, she announced her senatorial candidacy, being the first Democrat to formally announce, for the 1980 election. [79] [80] Linda Davidoff was her campaign manager. [4]

At the state Democratic convention, Holtzman received 38% of the delegate vote on the first ballot, above the required 25% support to appear on the ballot without petitioning, but not enough to gain the party's endorsement. [81] She attempted to gain the Liberal nomination, but the party selected incumbent Senator Jacob Javits. [82] She won the Democratic primary, making her the first woman to win a major-party U.S. Senate nomination in New York. [83] [84]

Republican, Conservative, and Right to Life nominee Al D'Amato defeated Holtzman. [85] D'Amato's victory was attributed to Javits splitting the vote between him and Holtzman, and she lost by 1% to D'Amato as a result. [86] [87] She raised $1,869,183 and spent $2,003,548 during the campaign. [88] She did not concede the election. [4] Holtzman attributed her defeat to a lack of financial support from the Democratic Party and President Jimmy Carter's unpopularity. [89]

Holtzman was included in polling as a possible challenger to Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the 1982 U.S. Senate election. [90] It was speculated that Holtzman might run in the 1986 Senate election, but she declined, saying that she would not be able to match D'Amato's fundraising. [4]

1992 election

On February 6, 1992, Holtzman announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination in the 1992 U.S. Senate election. [91] She filed a complaint against D'Amato to the United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics, accusing him of illegally using his franking privilege, worth $461,000, to send a letter to three million New Yorkers stating that there was not enough evidence to charge him in 1991, but the committee dismissed the complaint. [92] [93] At the state Democratic convention, Holtzman received 28% of the delegate vote on the first ballot, but her support declined to 2% on the second ballot and 1% on the third ballot. Geraldine Ferraro won the endorsement. [94]

Holtzman focused on negative advertising against Ferraro, saying that it was "a legitimate and valid way of showing the voters the differences", as Ferraro was declining to attend debates at the time. Governor Mario Cuomo and Ms. founding editor Letty Cottin Pogrebin criticized her for the ads. [95] [96] [97] Holtzman also demanded that Ferraro donate $340,000 to child sex abuse victims, the amount of rent she had received from Star Distributors Inc., a photographing company that was alleged to be affiliated with the mafia. [98]

Multiple feminists criticized Holtzman for her attacks on Ferraro, including Pogrebin and Bella Abzug, though Betty Friedan endorsed Holtzman. [99] [100] She placed last of the four candidates in the Democratic primary, after having raised $3,037,868 and spent $2,929,109, and was accused of costing Ferraro the primary. [101] [102] [103] Ferraro said that Holtzman's negative campaigning hurt Democratic nominee Robert Abrams in the general election and allowed D'Amato to win reelection. [104]

Later life

District Attorney

Brooklyn District Attorney Eugene Gold declined to run for reelection in 1981, [105] and wanted his executive assistant Norman Rosen to succeed him. [106] Holtzman launched her campaign on July 22, [107] and was given the Liberal ballot line while Rosen received the Republican line. [108] Rosen was supported by Mayor Ed Koch and Brooklyn's Democratic political machine. [109] During the campaign, Rosen ran a radio commercial that stated, "Liz Holtzman, she's a nice girl; maybe I'd like to have her as a daughter, but not as a DA." [110] Holtzman won the nomination due to strong support from black voters. [111] [112] Her election made her first female district attorney in New York City and the second in New York State. [84]

Holtzman was an opponent of Meade Esposito, the chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party and its political machine, during her political career and reduced his control over the district attorney's office. Before her tenure, black people were excluded from working in the homicide bureau. The police union picketed her office in 1985, calling her a "persecutor of cops" and claimed she was "soft on crime" after she created a special unit to investigate police brutality. [4]

Comptroller

Harrison J. Goldin, the New York City Comptroller, ran in the 1989 mayoral election. Holtzman announced her campaign to succeed him on July 16, 1989. [113] In the 1993 primary she was challenged by Alan Hevesi, who was supported by Ferraro, [114] and Herman Badillo, who was supported by Koch. [115]

Fleet Financial Group loaned $455,000 to Holtzman's 1992 senatorial campaign. Sheila Levin, the chief fundraiser for the Re-Elect Liz Holtzman Committee, was investigated by the New York City Department of Investigation and New York County District Attorney for providing false information on the bank application. [116] The NYCDOI report found Holtzman "grossly negligent" and stated that Levin accepted $3,000 in campaign contributions from Fleet executives. [117] Holtzman placed second in the primary and lost the runoff to Hevesi, with the controversy around her campaign loan being blamed for her defeat. [118] [119]

Adam Clayton Powell IV worked as an aide to Holtzman during her tenure as comptroller. [120]

Other campaigns

Holtzman considered running to succeed Andrew Cuomo as attorney general of New York in the 2010 election and running in the special election to replace Anthony Weiner as the representative from New York's 9th congressional district after Weiner resigned in 2011. [121] [122] She ran for the Democratic nomination in New York's 10th congressional district in the 2022 election. [123]

Political positions

Equality

Holtzman supported the Equal Rights Amendment and was the leading sponsor of legislation to extend its deadline. [124] [125] She criticized Celler during the 1972 election for opposing the legislation and preventing its passage by the Judiciary Committee. [126]

Holtzman called for George Scratchley Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to be removed from his position after he claimed that Jews controlled the banking system and newspapers. [127]

The Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization was excluded from the 1992 New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade. Holtzman and other elected officials boycotted the parade and instead marched with the ILGO in a separate parade. [128] [129] [130]

Foreign policy

Holtzman voted against the War Powers Resolution, saying that the "actual effect would be to sanction for 123 days combat operations initiated solely by the President". [31] She supported the Nuclear Freeze campaign and ending the testing of nuclear weapons. [131] She traveled to Egypt and Israel on December 20, 1977, and met with President Anwar Sadat and Prime Minister Menachem Begin. [132]

Holtzman criticized President Jimmy Carter for offering to sell fighter planes to Egypt, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. [133] She opposed Carter's decision to reinstitute the Selective Service System registration requirement. [134] She called for Carter to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Billy Carter's connections with Libya. [135]

While campaigning in 2022, Holtzman said she was "totally opposed to the BDS movement." [136]

Healthcare

During the 1992 election Holtzman proposed the creation of a single-payer healthcare system. [137] [138]

Immigration

Holtzman criticized the Immigration and Naturalization Service in April 1974 for allowing around 50 alleged Nazi war criminals to live in the U.S. In 1977, she and 42 other representatives introduced legislation calling for the deportation of all aliens who had engaged in Nazi war crimes. [139] The INS reopened its case on Andrija Artuković, an Ustaše war criminal, at the request of Holtzman and other members of Congress. [140] Holtzman asked for Austrian President Kurt Waldheim not to be allowed inside the U.S. due to his involvement with the Nazis. [4] In 1977, she proposed legislation, co-sponsored by 39 Democratic and 11 Republican members of the House, that would require the deportation of all aliens who participated in Nazi war crimes and bar them from the U.S. [141]

Holtzman, Joshua Eilberg, Chris Dodd, Hamilton Fish IV, and Edward Mezvinsky traveled to Moscow and Leningrad in 1975 to study the Soviet Union's treatment of Jews. [142] In 1974, she was one of 39 members of Congress to sign a letter asking Nixon to help the 4,500 Syrian Jews. [143] During a speech by Andrei Gromyko at United Nations headquarters, Holtzman and 84 other people protested the Soviet Union's reduction of its Jewish emigration quota. [144]

Holtzman sent a list of South Vietnamese people, including Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, to the INS for investigation of their involvement in war crimes. Nguyễn Ngọc Loan was going to be deported to stand trial in Vietnam for the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém, but Carter halted his deportation. [145] [146] [147]

In 1975, Holtzman voted against legislation to give Robert E. Lee his citizenship back and unsuccessfully proposed an amendment to extend the citizenship return to draft dodgers and protesters who renounced their citizenship in protest of the Vietnam War. [148] She asked the INS to investigate Sun Myung Moon, asking whether he could be deported for inducing or assisting the entry of illegal immigrants or for failing to report his criminal record. [149] She and Senator Ted Kennedy wrote the Refugee Act of 1980. [16]

Ratings

Holtzman was the only member of Congress to receive a 100% rating from Ralph Nader's Public Citizen in 1976, and one of four in 1978. [150] [151] She received a 100% rating from the Consumer Federation of America. [152]
