NYC DA’s chief fired for pushing underlings to back her in ‘Fab Over 40’ beauty contest: ‘Have you voted today?’

A Bronx district attorney’s chief pushed underlings to vote for her in an online “Fab Over 40” beauty contest — a cringe-worthy abuse of power that eventually cost her her $160,000-a-year j💖ob, a report says.

Jessica Rosado was chief of the prosecution office’s Crime Victims Assistance Bureau when she was so obsessed with winning the contest last October that she sent message after message to dozens of subordinates asking them to help her out,

Rosado was allegedౠly angling for a $40,000 cash prize, s♋pa vacation and a magazine feature.

“Hello from The Mediterranean Sea,” Rosado wrote in a Nov. 13 group message on Whatsapp to 22 employees while she was apparently on vacation.

“I have limited service but wanted to remind you to continue to vote 🃏for me every 24hrs [smiley face emoji],” she said. “This week is very important. Top 5. Thank you tea🐓m!”

Weeks earlier, Rosado had used her Bronx DA’s email account to send the contest page link to 37 workers, directing them to “vote daily if you are so inclined.

“Feel free to share with your friends/family,” she ad𓄧ded.

On another o𒅌ccasion, Rosaജdo emailed 38 employees asking, “Have you voted today?

“P▨lease vote every 24 hrs and share with friends and family if you’re so inclined,” she wrote.

In the end, 17 of her subordinates voted for her — and four of them also♋ donated a combined $81 to buy extra votes, as the contest allowed, Gothamist said.

She didn’t win.

Rosado was fired April 5 for her conduct, the DA’s office said.

She acknowledged her wrongdoing in a settlement with the😼 city’s Conflicts of Interest Board that was released late last week, the out🐻let reported.

The board found she had violated the city’s co🗹nflict-of-interest law, which states no public servant can use their government position to obtain financi𝔍al or personal gains.

Rosado had worked at the DA’s office since October 2021 and pul𝔍led a salary of about $160,000.

The ethics board coul💙d have imposed further penalties but decided that her firing was punishment enough.
