I bring with me a simple yet powerful vision: to create a safe community where everyone—no matter their background—can live, work, and thrive. My intention is to address the root causes of crime, disrupt cycles of violence, and take a transformative approach to prosecution—one that invests in strategies supporting safe and healthy communities. Through transparency and accountability, my office will serve Franklin County residents with the justice they deserve.
