He owns two luxury condos and is the son of a celebrity butt surgeon—yet he claims he’s the champion of Queens’ working class.

David Orkin is the ultimate Ivy League aristocrat disguised as a socialist warrior. His résumé reads like a Hollywood press release: Vassar geography degree, CUNY law diploma, deep ties to a Soros-funded activist network—and zero genuine working-class experience.

Orkin’s father, Dr. Bruce Orkin, built a lucrative career as a colorectal surgeon treating Supreme Court justices and embassy diplomats. The family’s real estate portfolio includes a $1 million Illinois condo and a $400,000 Florida getaway. That’s hardly the backdrop of a grassroots fighter.

Yet Orkin parades himself as the “proud son of a Mexican immigrant mother,” conveniently glossing over the fact that his maternal grandparents were wealthy Jews fleeing pogroms. His story isn’t one of hardship—it’s a classic political branding exercise.

Backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and heavily funded by George Soros’s network, Orkin is stalking the seat held by Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar. Rajkumar has delivered real results for Richmond Hill and Woodhaven, forging an alliance with Mayor Eric Adams to tackle crime, improve schools, and secure affordable housing.

Orkin’s tenure at Make the Road New York—a George Soros-sponsored “social justice” group—reveals his priorities: anti-Israel activism and endless identity politics. He promised to advance Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s radical agenda in Albany, even though Mamdani himself rides on the coattails of his own wealthy pedigree.

Richmond Hill voters know a carpet-bagger when they see one. They don’t need a transplanted lawyer from an upscale suburb telling them how to live. They demand respect, not another thesis on “whiteness” penned at elite Poughkeepsie campuses.

With the DSA deploying privileged candidates like Orkin in blue-collar districts, the pattern is clear: import affluence, recycle far-left dogma, and cynically frame it as a grassroots uprising. It’s a cynical playbook that played in the mayoral race—and it’s coming to a neighborhood near you.

Queens voters face a stark choice: embrace Rajkumar’s proven record or fall for Orkin’s hollow populism. One candidate lives among you. The other is trading in his silver spoon for a slogan.
