Priorities
As your next Ramsey County Attorney, I will seek justice and ensure public safety by working with police, law enforcement and judicial officials, community organizations, and residents to:
Hold Offenders Accountable by:
- Aggressively prosecuting violent crime, sexual assault and domestic abuse;
- Utilizing innovative civil and criminal prosecution tools to pursue criminal gang members and eliminate problem properties; and
Provide Innovative Leadership by:
- Developing and incorporating best practices in felony-level domestic abuse prosecution;
- Implementing innovative, cost-effective solutions for nonviolent offenders, including diversion, restorative justice and alternatives to incarceration, when appropriate.
Prevent Juvenile Crime by:
- Expanding truancy intervention efforts through a community prosecution approach; and
- Developing prevention and intervention strategies for juvenile offenders to reduce recidivism and put our kids on a productive course.
