Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. is the 37th District Attorney elected in Manhattan. A son of Harlem who has served as both a state and federal prosecutor, Alvin has spent more than two decades fighting for safer communities and a fairer criminal justice system.

Alvin restructured the Manhattan DA’s Office to focus more resources on prosecuting serious violent crimes, meeting the needs of survivors, reducing recidivism by addressing underlying causes of criminal behavior, protecting everyday New Yorkers from abuses by the powerful, and vacating wrongful convictions. Alvin also directly oversees the Police Accountability Unit.
