Thank you for the honor of serving as your King County Prosecuting Attorney. Our mission is not just
to win cases, but to serve the cause of justice with fairness and integrity. I am extremely proud to lead a group of highly professional men and women who strive to uphold these ideals every day.
My number one priority has always been to prosecute aggressively the thousands of criminal cases
that come to my office. At the same time, I have and will continue to play a strong leadership role in seeking innovative reform of our criminal justice system.
Several of my top priorities over the next four years will be:
- Safety in our schools: Schools must be a place where our children can be nurtured and educated
free of the fear of weapons, drugs and violence. I will continue to work hard to make every school campus safe for kids who want to learn.
- Protection of the vulnerable: As our population ages, the chance that the elderly will become
victims of physical abuse, neglect and economic crimes increases. I will work to protect our senior
citizens and make sure the criminal justice system is sensitive and responsive to the special needs of this population.
- Reform of drug laws: Drug laws should be tough and emphasize accountability — but also hold out
hope for redemption through treatment. To bring a balance between treatment and punishment, I began
the first drug court in the state and last year led a successful bi-partisan legislative effort to redirect funds from the prison system to the drug treatment programs.
It is my honor to serve as your Prosecuting Attorney. Thank you for the trust that you have placed in
me.
