Why does Elect Justice focus on local races for Sheriffs, District Attorneys, Judges and Mayors/City Council Members?
Sheriffs, District Attorneys, Judges and Mayors/City Councilmembers all play a critical role in setting and implementing criminal justice policies in your community. They make daily decisions that determine how policing and law enforcement are carried out locally. They have the power to reform the criminal justice system in your community, to make budget and funding decisions, to make policies on the use of force in policing, to hold officers accountable, to enact community support and crime prevention programs, to determine how individuals are treated in the criminal justice system, and so much more.
