Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D/WFP) getting brisk challenge from Diana Florence (ASM) and Maud Maron (R/C)

While most Manhattanites are focused on the mayoral race this November, they will also get to decide whether to re-elect incumbent Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg or replace him with one of two candidates challenging him for the key law enforcement post.

Bragg, the Democratic and Working Families Party nominee, is up against Safer Manhattan Party nominee and veteran prosecutor Diana Florence and public defender and Republican/Conservative nominee Maud Maron.

Bragg took office on Jan. 1, 2022, as the 37th Manhattan District Attorney and first Black person elected to the post. In June of this year, he handily won the Democratic primary, defeating Patrick Timmins, a litigator, law professor and former Bronx assistant district attorney.

The incumbent chief prosecutor of Manhattan leads a team of about 600 attorneys and is the frontrunner with a long list of endorsements, although he also faces strong criticism, usually from the far right.
