District Attorney Jon Hopkins is committed to our public safety and quality of life in Lake County. Under his leadership his team of attorneys works hard to hold criminals accountable and to uphold the rights of victims of crimes. He's been tough on all classes of crime, including drug crimes, gang activity, child abuse, domestic and other violence, rape and DUIs.

 

In his work there is always someone on the other side of the verdict who is alienated at the outcome of any particular case. These people are free to make accusations that cannot always be answered publicly.

 

The Deputy District Attorneys Association and the Lake County Peace Officers Association are free to speak out, however, and they have both endorsed Jon Hopkins for district attorney.

I am going to join them and vote to return him to office on June 8.

 

Toni Scully lives in Lakeport.
