Pitch in today to support Scott Drorbaugh for North Carolina District Attorney - District 17. Together, we can move our community forward.
My platform:
- Justice works best when it is consistent, efficient and proportional.
- Public safety begins with holding violent, dangerous and repeat offenders fully accountable.
- Being “tough on crime” means being tough on the right crimes – those that cause actual, real harm to people and neighborhoods.
- Justice delayed is justice denied – for victims, defendants, and the community.
- Victims and defendants should not be robbed of years of their lives awaiting a verdict that the DA’s Office failed to timely pursue.
- Supporting victims is not optional – it is a core responsibility of the DA’s Office.
- Not every case requires incarceration to achieve justice or safety.
- Treatment focused accountability reduces recidivism and makes our community safer in the long term. Recovery courts and diversionary programs target a common cause of criminality - substance abuse and mental health disorders.
- The DA’s Office must be a model of integrity. Accountability applies to prosecutors, too.
- Trust is built when people see that the criminal justice system works – fairly, consistently, and without favoritism.
