SUPPORT FOR SENATOR JOHN ASHCROFT BY THE NATIONAL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION
ALEXANDRIA, VA -- 2001 -- At their Winter Meeting, the Executive Committee of the National District Attorneys Association unanimously endorsed Senator John Ashcroft as the next Attorney General of the United States.
The unanimous vote was predicated upon Senator Ashcroft's demonstrated integrity and his dedication to ensuring the safety of the American people through strong, but fair, law enforcement. Because the majority of the workload of the criminal justice system is the responsibility of local prosecutors and police agencies, a strong working relationship between federal law enforcement agencies and local prosecutors is vital to both maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of our criminal justice system and see that justice is truly available for all.
As a former state Attorney General and Governor, Senator Ashcroft appreciates that a strong system of local law enforcement is the only means to achieve this end.
The National District Attorneys Association looks forward to the opportunity to work with Senator Ashcroft in the coming years to ensure the safety of our citizens.
