Brooklyn D.A. Charles J. Hynes told the New York Law Journal that he will not run as a Republican or Conservative. He lost the Democratic primary earlier this month in a landslide.

The New York Law Journal reports:

…In an interview with the Law Journal on Monday, Hynes said "nothing has changed" from his primary election night decision. A run on the GOP and Conservative line would be "unrealistic," he said.

Since his defeat, he said he had gotten calls and emails asking him to keep running, but Hynes said his decision is "very firm." He said he was "flattered people are trying to persuade me, but they've been unpersuasive."

Hynes has the endorsement of both parties, but Brooklyn is overwhelmingly Democratic, making a run as a Republican or Conservative difficult.
