There is only 1 DA who is truly for the People

There is only 1 DA candidate who believes: “We have to be mindful how the decisions we make affect lives”;  “The DA’s office is not the prosecution arm of law enforcement, we are the system of checks and balances”; and “People should not be able to buy their way out of crime.”

There is only 1 DA candidate with no party affiliation. Only 1 DA candidate who gave up guaranteed party endorsements, money and volunteer support that comes with the party approval.

There is only 1 DA candidate that has brought together diverse people who have not worked together before this election.

There is only 1 DAcandidate who is presently an active prosecutor in the criminal justice system with a full caseload and full-time job. There is only 1 DA candidate who has prosecuted under realignment and given specifics on how this affects sentences.

There is only 1 DA candidate who has management and business experience in the private sector.

There is only 1 DA candidate who did not leave the office but stayed when the going is tough.

There is only 1 DA candidate who has been criticized, put under the spotlight, and has risen above the clamor to stay focused on her job and the race.

There is only 1 DA candidate who has not polarized this community pitting Democrats against Republicans; growers against non-growers, rich against poor; Eureka against Garberville.

That candidate is Elan Firpo. We need a DA who is truly for the People.
