The race for Bronx District Attorney went as expected, with Bronx voters electing its first-ever female DA.

Former Bronx Supreme Court Judge Darcel Clark, a Democrat, defeated Robert Siano, a Republican, in a DA race unseen in 27 years. The position had been held by Robert Johnson, who stepped down so he can run for a state judgeship.

Clark secured 85.58 percent of the vote over Siano’s combined 14.10 percent of the vote. The race, however, was viewed as a lock for Clark. With the Bronx overwhelmingly comprised of registered Democrats by 10 to 1, Siano’s chances of winning were considerably slim.

“I am truly, truly humbled that the voters have provided me with the opportunity to serve as the first woman District Attorney of our borough,” said Clark, who stood before an electrified crowd at Eastwood Manor. A few weeks ago, the Judicial Convention held its meet at the same catering venue to nominate her.

The gathering certainly had a religious undertone, with the crowd sprinkling several hallelujahs as Clark spoke. Clark, a devout Christian, took the stage after a brief introduction from Speaker of the state Assembly, Carl Heastie, who also represents the district Clark lives in.

Her supporters, including lawyer friend Lindo Solis, had nothing but praise to heap on her. “She’s an amazing lawyer,” Solis said, further dubbing her a “sister come back home.”

Charles Orvan, chief of staff of the Bronx Clergy Task Force called Clark “a success story.” “Here’s a young lady from Soundview projects. She’s not visiting us; she’s from us,” said Orvan.

Across the Bronx, there was no gathering at the Bronx Republican Headquarters in Morris Park. Siano, a lawyer with offices in the Bronx and White Plains, thanked supporters and offered his congratulations to Clark via statement. “I look forward to serving the public and I don’t know what the future holds, but I know I’m not going to stop trying,” said Siano, who had only two weeks to campaign.

Clark’s victory came under a cloud of suspicion by political observers who accused the Bronx Democratic County Committee, and Heastie, an ally of Clark’s, in orchestrating her victory with little competition. Many claimed Johnson was told to relinquish his seat after easily winning the September primary so the Judicial Convention can have the legal authority to nominate a party-friendly candidate. Johnson has vehemently denied the charge, explaining through a statement that his decision was made by him alone.

For his part, Johnson easily won a seat in Bronx Supreme Court. His and Clark’s tenure will begin Jan. 1, 2016.
