Principled policies require community collaboration cooperation and understanding. As the District Attorney, the chief law enforcement officer of the 13th, I’m not only committed to a fair judicial process but also to the creation and practice of principled policies for the people of the 13th Judicial District. I intend for this office to be seen as a value to the community, not just something that puts bad guys in jail.”
