Daniel Hevesi is a former American politician.
Daniel Hevesi was born to Alan and Carol Hevesi. He has a sister, Laura, and a brother, Andrew. [1] [2]
Daniel Hevesi contested the 1998 New York Senate elections, and won election from the 13th district. [3] [4] He faced Conservative Party candidate Walter Lamp in the 2000 election cycle. [5] [6] Hevesi served until 2002, when his district was redrawn, [7] citing partisan politics and Republican control of the senate as his reason for stepping down. [8]
In 2007, Hevesi was asked to provide financial records for a business he owned during a probe targeting his father's actions as New York State Comptroller. [1] [9] The New York Times reported in 2010 that Daniel and Andrew Hevesi's participation in the investigation of their father convinced the elder Hevesi to negotiate a plea bargain. [10] Linked to the investigation, [11] attorney general Andrew Cuomo later accused Saul Meyer of helping Daniel Hevesi earn a $250,000 placement fee from the pension fund of the government of New Mexico. [12] [13] The New Mexico State Investment Council filed a lawsuit against Meyer and Hevesi, among others, with the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico in May 2011. [14]
