About Vander Beatty

Lived 1941 – 1990 (aged 49). Vander Beatty was an American politician.

Vander L. Beatty (February 5, 1941 – August 30, 1990) was an American politician from New York.

Life Beatty was a member of the New York State Assembly (54th D.) in 1971 and 1972; and a member of the New York State Senate from 1973 to 1982, sitting in the 180th, 181st, 182nd, 183rd and 184th New York State Legislatures.

In 1982, he ran in the Democratic primary for Congress in the 12th District, but was defeated by Major Owens. Beatty then attempted to defraud the results of the primary, and was eventually convicted and sentenced to jail.

Death Beatty was murdered on August 30, 1990, at his campaign headquarters in Brooklyn while attempting a political come-back. The murder allegedly occurred after a judge refused to reduce Everett Flournoy's alimony and child support payments. Flournoy was represented at the hearing by a lawyer recommended by Beatty. Flournoy was apprehended after two appearances on the television program "America's Most Wanted".
