Top Priorities if Elected |
- Sexual predators use the Internet to victimize our children. I will expand our Internet Crimes Against Children program -- one of the nation's first.
- Target rapists and rape drugs through my Rape Prosecution Team that deals with complex medical issues and treats rape victims with compassion.
- The DA's personal ethics must be above reproach. My opponent admitted making false charges against me and refused to retract them.
