VIDEO: Eric Adams says Manhattan DA candidate Alvin Bragg shares his approach on crime

By David Caplan Jul 12, 2021

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams said he and progressive Manhattan District Attorney candidate Alvin Bragg essentially see eye-to-eye on criminal justice issues.

"You may look at our new district attorney and his concepts of how he wants to use that office to deal with public safety, to deal with crime -- it's no different than mine," Adams said at an event for Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network in Harlem. "He may take one street, I may take another, but the destiny is the same."

Adams, currently the Brooklyn borough president, said the Harvard-educated civil rights lawyer "is going to redefine the prosecutor's office and how we are going to ensure that we don't criminalize young people everyday in this city."

Bragg would be the first Black Manhattan District Attorney.
