Leadership. Accountability. Integrity.
Leadership. Accountability. Integrity.
As your Albany County District Attorney, I'm committed to a justice system that prioritizes public safety while recognizing that true safety comes from addressing root causes, not just consequences.
My approach is grounded in evidence, guided by compassion and focused on results that make our community safer and stronger for everyone.
I believe in holding people accountable while also investing in solutions that prevent crime before it happens. That means working with community partners, supporting victims and ensuring fairness at every level of our justice system.
We use data and research to guide our decisions, focusing resources on strategies that actually reduce crime and keep our community safe.
Serious crimes deserve serious consequences. We hold offenders accountable while ensuring the punishment fits the crime and serves justice.
Being tough on crime doesn't mean being wasteful. We invest in solutions that work, reducing recidivism and making our community safer long-term.
Victims and their families deserve to be heard, supported and kept informed throughout the entire justice process.
Our office operates with the highest standards of integrity and transparency. Every decision is guided by fairness, constitutional principles and a commitment to equal justice under the law.
Results matter. We focus on efficient case management, timely justice and measurable outcomes that make our community safer and our justice system more effective.
"Real public safety comes from healthy communities. That means addressing the conditions that lead to crime in the first place."
Working with local organizations, schools and neighborhood groups to prevent crime and support those in need.
Connecting people to treatment, job training and services that address underlying issues and reduce reoffending.
Recognizing that many people in the justice system need treatment, not just incarceration.
When appropriate, bringing together offenders, victims and community members to repair harm and prevent future crime.
