Isaac Wright Jr.
Isaac Wright Jr. (born January 23, 1962) is an American lawyer in the state of New Jersey. He is a candidate for mayor of New York City in the 2021 New York City mayoral election.

Wright was convicted in 1991 after a five-week trial by a 12-person jury of 10 charges involving the sale of cocaine and sentenced to life in prison, but his conviction was overturned in 1997 after litigation brought by him and his lawyer, on the basis that police concealed evidence of an illegal search and seizure of drugs presented at his trial and that the prosecutor knew of a favorable plea agreement with one of his co-defendants who was a witness at his trial. The ABC legal drama television series "For Life" is inspired by his life.
