Alec Brook-Krasny (born March 2, 1958) is an American politician serving in the New York State Assembly representing the 46th district. He was a member of the Democratic Party, and was elected on November 7, 2006, to represent the 46th district, which covers the neighborhoods of Bath Beach, Bay Ridge, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Dyker Heights, and Seagate, in Brooklyn. He resigned on July 7, 2015. Brook-Krasny was arrested on charges of felony healthcare fraud in 2017, but the case was dismissed in 2019 after he was acquitted of conspiracy and fraud charges and the jury could not agree on misdemeanor bribery counts.[1]
In 2022, Brook-Krasny announced that he was joining the Republican party and running for the State Assembly once again. He was elected with 52% of the vote and is again a member of the Assembly.[2][3][4]
