Daniel Squadron (born November 9, 1979) is a former member of the New York State Senate for the 26th district.

A Democrat, Squadron was elected a New York State Senator in 2008, and was a candidate in the 2013 race for New York Public Advocate.[1][2] In August 2017, he resigned from the NY State Senate to work with entrepreneur Adam Pritzker and Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University to launch [https://www.futurenowusa.org/ Future Now], a national initiative to promote "policies focused on creating a better, healthier, fairer future."[3]

Early life

Daniel Squadron was born in 1979.[4] His mother is Anne Strickland Squadron,[5] and his father was Howard Squadron[6][5][7][8][9] of Squadron, Ellenoff, Plesent & Sheinfeld. His brother, Bill Squadron, was the head of Bloomberg Sports.[9][10]

Squadron attended the private Fieldston School and graduated from Yale University in 2003. During his junior year, he cofounded and managed What Bar, a bar near Columbia University.[11]

Career

Early career

Squadron served as a consultant to New York City's Department of Education and worked as a staffer on Congressman Anthony Weiner's 2005 mayoral campaign.[6] He served as an aide to U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, helping the New York senator with his book Winning Back the Middle-Class Majority One Family at a Time (2007).

State Senate

Squadron ran for the 25th district of the New York State Senate in 2008.[12] He received the endorsements of Schumer, Congressman Anthony Weiner, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.[13] Assisted by family friends, Schumer supporters, and an aggressive campaign strategy,[14] Squadron defeated incumbent state senator Martin Connor and took 54% of the vote.[15] On November 6, 2012, Squadron was elected to the state senate again, this time to represent the 26th district.[16] He beat his Republican opponent, J. Haro, 86% to 14%.[17] Squadron won reelection in 2014 in a landslide over Republican candidate Wave Chan; and he ran unopposed in 2016, running on both the Democratic and Working Families Party lines.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

Squadron's platform included opposition to luxury development in Brooklyn Bridge Park. He negotiated a deal that reduced and delayed housing in the park, and has been credited with returning $11 million in capital funding that had been cut from the park's budget.[18][19] Squadron also secured millions for a waterfront park project on the Lower East Side at Pier 42, along with Schumer,[20] and also helped secure the future of Governors Island.[21] Squadron's proposal to link New York's wealthiest parks conservancies with under-resourced neighborhood parks[22] resulted in hundreds of millions in new funding for community parks.[23]

In 2010, Squadron sponsored the law that brought billions in federal dollars to New York City's public housing.[24] Squadron also passed legislation expanding middle class eligibility for the Mitchell-Lama Housing Program.[25]

Squadron's tenure included a noted focus on ethics and campaign finance reform.[26] He passed the law prohibiting public officers from using government resources for their own for-profit business.[27] Squadron also unsuccessfully pushed to close the "LLC Loophole," which allows nearly unlimited, often anonymous campaign contributions to flood the political process.[28]

On August 9, 2017, Squadron announced his resignation from the Senate in an opinion piece published in the Daily News.[29] He cited "heavily invested special interests" and "cynical political deals," adding: "And the status quo has proven extraordinarily durable: It barely shuddered when the leaders of both legislative chambers [Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver] were convicted of corruption."

Race for New York City Public Advocate

{{main|New York City Public Advocate election, 2013}}

In the race for Public Advocate, Squadron had the endorsements of mentor Senator Chuck Schumer, and former Public Advocates Betsy Gotbaum and Mark Green.[33] Squadron placed second in the primary and advanced to an October 2013 runoff primary,[30][31] which he lost to Letitia James, by 59% to 41%.[32]

Post-Senate Career

In August 2017, Squadron announced he would be working with entrepreneur Adam Pritzker and Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University on a national initiative focused on "stronger candidates, a sharpened approach and better policies at the state level," emphasizing "policies focused on creating a better, healthier, fairer future."[33] In October 2017, that initiative was launched as [https://www.futurenowusa.org/ Future Now].

Personal life

Squadron is married to Elizabeth Weinstein, a former director in Mayor Bloomberg's Office of Operations.[34] The couple were set up by Schumer and his wife, Iris Weinshall, for whom Weinstein worked as chief of staff at the New York City Department of Transportation.[35] Squadron lives in Carroll Gardens with his wife and two sons.[36]

According to Squadron, a trust fund, established for him and 18 other family members, was lost in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme.[37][38]
