Justice Fairness Firpo4DA profile

Very impressed that Elan was out in the freezing cold this past weekend December Arts Alive. There are photos on her facebook page and Rose's blog that I took. They may not indicate crowds but trust me people stopped by to talk to her, pick up brochures and she has been out to a variety of events in Humboldt.

Some of the information on her brochure is on other posts in this blog such as her award from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Her brochure has a letter from her stating why she is running, information on her. In this post, I will only share some of the highlights.

Elan talks about the fact that most of the crime in Humboldt is committed by a small percentage of the population and that she will focus on that small percentage. She talks about the Humboldt County D.A's office being a partner with law enforcement and the D.A's office working with law enforcement, probation and the community to make Humboldt safer.

Elan plans to shut the revolving door, offer fewer plea bargains, end the polarization surrounding the D.A's office by reaching out to the community; focus on management and resources, seek funding to recruit talent to the office, focus marijuana prosecution on grows that damage the environment and dangerous criminal elements.

Just 2 of her cases that have received press;

Elan added some specifics to what is on her website firpo4da2014.com and her brochure. "In order to get funding back to the office that we need to increase the resources we need, I intend to generate a better work product."

Regarding polarization, she clarified that in the previous campaigns, there was political polarization because there were anti-Paul factions and Paul factions. With Paul deciding not to seek another term, she wants her campaign to be "politically neutral. I want to work with both sides of the community."
