A great deal of power and responsibility lies in the hands of District Attorneys. Yet, most voters don’t pay close attention to these candidates. Many voters simply skip these boxes on the ballot. Even editorial boards of newspapers often do not bother to endorse DA candidates. Without involvement from voters, community organizations, opinion leaders and the media, the immense powers that we put in the hands of DAs will go unchecked.

Many voters don’t realize that the District Attorney is one of the most powerful elected officials in the state.
The DA has the power to
- Set the stakes by deciding what charges to file;
- Choose whether to seek a death sentence;
- Give someone a second chance by directing them to treatment or rehabilitation instead of jail;
- Influence state policy;
- Listen and respond to the community; and
- Provide services to crime victims.
