Three things this office will do
Promote Public Safety
The office must protect victims, prosecute dangerous offenders and keep Dallas County safe. That takes courtroom experience and the judgment to know which cases need which response.
Demand Fairness
Dallas does not have to choose between public safety and fairness. A strong prosecutor can pursue violent crime and support victims while respecting due process and constitutional rights.
Ensure Accountability
Every case handled according to the law and the evidence. Conviction numbers alone do not tell you whether a prosecutor is doing the job well.
