As we enter this holiday season and look forward to gathering with family and friends, I cannot truly express the immense gratitude I feel for all of you who work with us and support our mission. There is not enough I can say to thank you for being our partners in creating a safer community. We truly are blessed to be able to impact the lives of the residents of our vibrant community in positive ways.

Even though the work we do at the State Attorney’s Office comes with its challenges, it is important work that provides us with opportunities to prevent crime and help those experiencing some of the worst moments of their lives. What we do makes a difference for so many. We succeed because of our angels on earth – our staff and prosecutors who work diligently and with compassion to do what is right for victims and their families. It takes a very special person to bring commitment, passion, and a heart of service every single day to what they do. I am privileged to stand side by side with them as we apply our Smart Justice approach to criminal justice. I try to refrain from bragging but how can I when I have the Best Team in America!

I am grateful for the relationships we have with law enforcement, government agencies, and community organizations. The trust we have established amongst each other and with the community, along with the safety net of services we have created together has become invaluable to rebuilding the lives of those who have fallen victim to crime. I have always believed that collaboration and cooperation are key to effectively protecting our residents and seeking justice for the voiceless and vulnerable.

As your State Attorney, I want you to know that all of us are proud to accept the responsibility that you have bestowed upon us as your State Attorney’s Office. We are honored to work with you and for you.

I wish you all the happiest of holidays!

Thank you and God Bless,
