As a boy growing up on a dairy farm in rural Whatcom County, I learned the values of integrity, hard work, and community responsibility. They are values that have guided me throughout my life. They continue to be the underlying principles in my work as King County Prosecuting Attorney.
As your Prosecutor, I have always believed that the criminal justice system should be just that¾a fair process that holds offenders accountable¾and not a revolving door for career criminals. I have worked to improve our sentencing laws for violent criminals, including "Three Strikes You're Out," "Hard Time for Armed Crimes," and adult trials for juveniles who commit murder. I am working to make King County the safest place in the nation to live, work and raise your family. I believe that our children should feel safe in their neighborhoods, parks and schools. That's why we have taken a tough approach to drug dealers and gangs. We have prosecuted them aggressively and kept them away from our kids and our communities. That is also why I led the effort to pass the Community Protection Act, which gave us longer sentences for sex offenders, notification to neighborhoods when they are released, registration with the sheriff, and civil commitment of sexually violent predators. Our streets and neighborhoods are safer today:
I would like to continue working for you, the citizens of King County. I ask for your vote. Thank you. |
