Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is facing a single challenger, Patrick Timmons, in the 2025 primary. Unlike his previous election with multiple competitors, this time the race is simplified. Bragg's high-profile position is largely due to his prosecution of Donald Trump, though he emphasizes a commitment to local public safety amid rising crime concerns. He has reported a decline in violent crime during his term, while Timmons offers a contrasting viewpoint on crime policies. The primary will not utilize ranked-choice voting, limiting voters to one selection.
Bragg's focus is local, despite being known for his case against Trump and rising criticism of his policies during a spike in crime.
Bragg emphasizes public safety as his main goal, noting NYC's decrease in homicides and shootings while addressing critics of his approach to crime.
