Her performance as assistant district attorney the past 10 years aggressively prosecuting difficult cases has been exceptional. The only time we ever saw James Eidson prosecute a case in the last few years was when it was a highly publicized, sure-win case. This is typical behavior for a politician, not an effective district attorney. We have also been troubled by the behavior of the district attorney's office during this current campaign. It appears Eidson is more concerned with making personal attacks against Self than publicly discussing the issues of the campaign.
Self has a vision for the future of the district attorney's office.
She has pledged to aggressively prosecute criminals, alleviate the accumulation of pending cases and work closely with local law enforcement agencies. She has the skills to professionally manage the district attorney's office and make it an efficient part of the justice system. We encourage the voters of Taylor County to give her the opportunity to lead the district attorney's office into the future. It is my pleasure to endorse Chuck Statler for county commissioner. His background in business coupled with his good common sense will help him make sound decisions for the people of Taylor County.
