Washington County families should always feel safe in their homes and communities. I will fight to ensure that dangerous criminals are kept off the streets and put behind bars where they belong.
Washington County Law Enforcement will be able to effectively do their job knowing I have their backs. I will stand behind the men and women risking their lives to keep our families safe.
I will never go soft on criminals at the expense of victims. As your District Attorney, I will stand for justice and always support and advocate for victims in Washington County.
