My supporters include those who know the importance of experience in this job — prosecutors and law enforcement organizations including the Seattle Police Guild and the Washington State Patrol Trooper's Association. A BALANCED APPROACH TO PUBLIC SAFETY We should be able to hold a mass public gathering without riots or injury. I favor a balanced approach to public safety that fully and firmly prosecutes criminals but also respects civil rights. We can and must respect civil rights while also holding criminals accountable. I will pursue: The creation of a civil rights unit to proactively enforce civil rights Police accountability and a well-trained, well-supervised police force The strictest enforcement possible of domestic violence laws A no tolerance approach to drunk driving STRONG NEIGHBORHOODS AND STRONG SCHOOLS I will bring the City Attorney's Office into the neighborhoods and schools to work with the community: Prosecutors will be assigned to assist Communities with Crime Prevention and Problem Solving Environmental and Land Use Lawyers will be assigned to Neighborhood Planning Programs No tolerance approach to violence in schools—young people need to be safe in order for learning to take place EXPERIENCE MATTERS At this critical time in our City there is no substitute for experience. The City Attorney, as our top City prosecutor, must be an experienced prosecutor. Our next City Attorney must be able to enforce the laws effectively and fairly. Please vote for me on September 18.   The above statement was written by the candidate, who is solely responsible for the contents therein.
