About the Presenter

Dennis Saffran is an appellate attorney and political and policy writer based in Queens, NY. He has served as chief of appellate litigation for Nassau County, NY, chief lawyer of the New York State Division of Housing, and a Special Assistant to the New York State Attorney General, and was the founder of the New York office and then national Executive Director of the Center for the Community Interest, a public interest group that supported anti-crime and quality-of-life initiatives. Dennis has litigated constitutional and municipal law cases in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the New York State Court of Appeals, and other appellate courts, and has submitted amicus briefs to the Supreme Court and other courts supporting the plaintiffs in the landmark case of Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College. He has also written on legal, political and public policy issues for various publications including the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Daily News and New York Post, Newsweek, RealClear Policy and Quillette, and has been a guest on various television and radio news and talk shows. In 2001 and 2013, Dennis was the Republican candidate for the New York City Council from Northeast Queens, one of the few competitive districts in the city, receiving 48% of the vote and losing by a 1% margin in 2001 in the closest election in the city that year. Dennis grew up in Queens and is an honors graduate of Forest Hills High School, Harvard College and New York University Law School. He and his wife Jane Stewart Saffran live in Douglaston, NY, where they raised their two children: Kristina, 31, the founder of Equip, a telehealth treatment program for eating disorders, and Nick, 29, a senior editor at the Manhattan Institute.
