As Senator representing Santiago, he was appointed a coordinator of the Style Committee (Coordination and Support Body of the National Assembly). The attribution and essential function of the Commission was to review the texts that would be decided by the Assembly at first reading regarding the correct use of the language to be presented to the Plenary in the second reading.

Training and qualification.

The initial training of candidates for career prosecutors on the one hand and the training of current prosecutors on the other through the 'Extraordinary Training Programs' was carried out through the new National School of Public Prosecution (ENP). The first promotions of career prosecutors were incorporated as of the year 2006.

Due to the marked deterioration and the deplorable conditions that it presented, the transformation of the prison system was promoted through the accelerated conversion of prison facilities to the so-called "new prison model". In the first stage, 9 of the 35 prisons in the country were incorporated into the new model. When the Office of the Prosecutor assumed the country's prison system, it barely received 16% (110 million Dominican pesos) of the institution's total budget; by 2006 after two years of prioritization, spending had increased to 34% (509 million Dominican pesos).

On August 16 of the year 2004, by presidential decree 861-04 the President of the Republic Dr. Leonel Fernández Reyna appointed Francisco Domínguez Brito as Attorney General of the Republic.

In the justice sector, Senator Francisco Domínguez Brito 'proposed to establish specialized jurisdictions and clarify the role of Public Ministry as an immovable figure and as a responsible body injustice for the formulation and implementation of State policy against crime, directing the criminal investigation and exercising public action on behalf of society. Similarly, he promoted the role of Public Prosecutor as a defender of fundamental rights, as a promoter of alternative dispute resolution and defender of the public interest protected by law. In the same direction, he promoted the Public Prosecutor's Office, the institution of a Higher Council for the Public Ministry and the extension of powers of the National Council of the Magistracy established in 1994.

In this Committee he held the role of organization manager until the year 1994. In that same year, he was unanimously elected by the "Maximo Cabral Intermediate Committee" as a candidate for deputy mayor.

Francisco Domínguez Brito joined the PLD in the year 1984. Thus, he began his partisan work in that year, leading on that date a "Work Committee", in what was the "Captain Máximo Cabral" work nucleus. A year later, he went on to direct the "Youth Front of the Maximo Cabral" and in 1986 he entered a study circle.

Convictions outstanding cases. Among the important convictions obtained during his administration, those against civilians and military officers accused of the murder of the renowned Dominican journalist Orlando Martínez Howley, which occurred in 1975 during the authoritarian government of Joaquín Balaguer, stand out and that for the two young people accused of the murder of the teenager José Rafael Llenas Aybar in the year 1996.
