A Message from Dave Sullivan
Welcome to our campaign.
I have made the commitment to be the Democratic candidate for Northwestern District Attorney. I believe the Office of Northwestern District Attorney needs new leadership, commitment, and vision to enhance the delivery of justice in our courtrooms and communities. I am confident that the Office of Northwestern District Attorney can be a better community partner in making our communities safer and stronger, our justice system more accessible and responsive.
As your District Attorney and chief law enforcement official, I will be committed to protecting the people of Hampshire and Franklin Counties through firm but fair prosecutions while also implementing innovative programs in our schools and communities to prevent crime before it occurs.
New Leadership for Justice
I believe that I have the experience, proven leadership skills, and public service background to serve as your District Attorney. As an experienced leader in the justice field, including serving as the Hampshire County Register of Probate, Easthampton City Attorney, and Past President of the Hampshire County Bar Association, I am prepared to make our District Attorney's Office the best prosecutor's office in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
My 16 years as a trial attorney, handling thousands of criminal and civil cases, gives me the advocacy skills and good judgment to meet the challenges of being the Northwestern District Attorney.
Bringing Justice to the Community
We can do more much more to help people in our community who need the District Attorney' Office's assistance. Enhancing education and outreach opportunities with schools, law enforcement, family centers, senior centers, human service agencies, and community groups will help keep the promise of an accessible and responsive Office for all who need its assistance.
Additionally, we would create a Northwestern District Attorney Website and a Citizen's Guide to the Office of the Northwestern District Attorney.
A Northwestern DA Website would serve to inform, assist and empower victims, citizens, and community partners. Citizens would no longer have to travel long distances to get information or lack knowledge as to the services and programs available to assist them or a family member. I established a very successful website for Hampshire Probate & Family Court and would do so as your District Attorney.
We would also work create a Citizen's Guide that would give every citizen an understanding of the services and programs of the Office and community. We can better serve the public if citizens know our services and the many community resources to help individuals and families in our District. The Guide would also give citizens an active voice to address their needs and concerns.
