   The House Democrats’ campaign arm has hired an ex-gangster-turned-high-   
   profile criminal justice advocate for a top leadership position, The Post   
   has learned.   
      
   The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, headed by Hudson Valley   
   area Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, tapped Dyjuan Tatro as a senior adviser   
   for diversity and inclusion.   
      
   Tatro is known for appearing in the 2019 PBS documentary series “College   
   Behind Bars,” about a group of inmates trying to earn their degrees   
   through New York state’s Bard Prison Initiative.   
      
   Through the program, Tatro got a bachelor’s degree while serving a six-   
   year sentence for racketeering conspiracy.   
      
   At the time of that 2011 conviction, Tatro had already been doing time for   
   shooting two rival gang members in 2006.   
      
   Described at the time as a “triggerman” for the Original Gangsta Killas   
   street gang that terrorized Albany, Tatro confessed to the shootings, and   
   to a “razor slashing” of another victim in 2002 as well as to dealing   
   drugs.   
      
   He admitted to making at least $12,000 a month dealing drugs and conspired   
   to traffic more than 50 grams of crack cocaine.   
      
   Tatro was freed in 2017 and has since become an advocate for increasing   
   educational opportunities for inmates through BPI.   
      
   While in the program himself, Tatro was part of a three-inmate debate team   
   from the Eastern New York Correctional Facility in the Catskills that   
   famously defeated the Harvard undergraduate debate team, earning national   
   headlines.   
      
   Republicans said Tatro’s hiring will reinforce criticism that Democrats   
   are soft on crime.   
      
   “It’s certainly on-brand for criminal-coddling Democrats, but the rest of   
   America will find it disturbing that a murderous gang member is holding a   
   prominent position with the DCCC,” said New York state Republican Party   
   Chairman Nick Langworthy.   
      
   “Second chances are one thing, but I would have to question Congressman   
   Maloney’s judgment to put someone with such a violent past at the top of   
   their organization.”   
      
   But Maloney and DCCC defended hiring Tatro, whom they consider a turn-   
   around success story and a nationally recognized criminal justice reform   
   advocate.   
      
   “Dyjuan is a formerly incarcerated person who has worked hard to change   
   the trajectory of his life through education and service to his   
   community,” a DCCC spokesman said.   
      
   “He has served his time for the crimes he committed and is now a national   
   leader in the bipartisan movement to reform our criminal justice system   
   and bring meaningful improvements to the education system in American   
   prisons. Such critical work breaks cycles of recidivism by making sure   
   more people leave prison with the skills to hold down a job and contribute   
   to their communities.”   
      
   Tatro, who has worked on Maloney’s campaigns, said in a statement upon his   
   hiring,   
   “This past election cycle has emphasized how electoral politics affects   
   the daily lives of each and every American as well as the centrality of   
   the African American vote to winning elections. I am honored to be joining   
   the DCCC to work on a number of issues at the nexus of politics,   
   diversity, and equity & inclusion.”   
      
   He added, “I want to thank Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney for his   
   commitment to assembling talented & diverse DCCC teams.”
