“Now, more than ever, we need to work together to ensure that our state is not taken over by similar radicals that have brought danger and injustice to cities all around our great country. I spent my career championing public safety; investigating street gangs, child abuse, sex crimes, and homicide. I also ran the state’s child protection system. I am heartbroken to see the scourge of crime devouring our communities, only to be met with sympathy for criminals and indifference towards victims. I’ve worked with Rachel Mitchell for two decades and she is the only candidate who has prosecuted the evil doers that I investigated, found, and brought to trial. In fact, she’s the only candidate to run a major prosecutorial agency. We need a person who has actually done the job with distinction, instead of the typical handpicked political plants that attempt to reshape our policies and culture to the detriment of our communities. I support Rachel Mitchell.”
