Do you want a District Attorney who has close ties with local defense attorneys? One wonders how many defense attorneys have contributed to the candidate’s campaign. It’s no surprise they’d like one of their own elected as county prosecutor.
Actual experience as a prosecutor is crucial. The current DA lacked it, and the outcomes have been atrocious. A career defense attorney is not the same as a career prosecutor.
Be cautious of unqualified candidates attempting to purchase public office. Evaluate actual qualifications, not just names, signs, and glossy marketing materials.
