Dem Lawmaker Set To Expose Manhattan DA Bragg’s Record on Crime

New York City Councilman Robert Holden is taking a stand against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, accusing him of contributing to the city's rising crime rates and chaos on the streets. Holden, a Democrat, plans to testify at a House Judiciary Committee field hearing, arguing that Bragg's soft-on-crime policies have created a dangerous environment for NYC residents. Holden claims that Bragg's decision not to prosecute smaller crimes has resulted in lawlessness in the city.

Holden credits former Republican mayor Rudy Giuliani for saving New York during his tenure and laments the current state of the Democratic party in the city. He identifies himself as one of only two moderate Democrats on the NYC council. As a Democratic lawmaker, Holden's willingness to challenge Bragg's approach highlights the need for bipartisan cooperation to ensure public safety and restore order in New York City.
