Who's Running for District Attorney in NYC in 2025
New Yorkers have heard a lot about the Democratic Primary for mayor coming up in June.
But voters in Manhattan and Brooklyn will also soon be able to select their borough’s top prosecutor.
And they’ll have to choose just one candidate, not their top five. The district attorneys in New York City serve within the state court system — not as elected officials for the city — so their races are done via traditional, one-vote ballots, not by ranked choice voting.
The race in Manhattan pits incumbent DA Alvin Bragg against Patrick Timmins, a former Bronx prosecutor.
