Spokane is at a critical crossroads

“That requires experience, ethics, and judgment. As your next Prosecuting Attorney, I will lead with integrity. I will ensure every Deputy Prosecutor applies the law fairly, treats people with respect, and remembers that no one is above the law and no one is beneath its protection. I will implement clear, office-wide policies to bring transparency, consistency, and accountability to every case. Victims deserve to have their voices heard, and every prosecutor will follow one guiding principle: do the right thing, every time.”
