Manhattan District Attorney-elect Alvin Bragg on Friday announced that his transition committee, which will help guide his hiring decisions and final preparations for the office he will assume on Jan. 1, includes more than 160 people from a wide range of backgrounds.

The group includes religious leaders, union leaders, attorneys working in private practice and in public-interest organizations, professors, the leaders of local and national advocacy groups and four of the eight candidates who ran against Bragg in the Democratic primary.
