ALBION – Orleans County Sheriff Chris Bourke has endorsed John Sansone for district attorney.

“I have worked closely with John for many years and he is an exceptional example of excellence as a prosecutor,” Bourke said. “He is tremendously hard working and strives to achieve the right result in a case, no matter how difficult or complicated.”

Sansone and Susan Howard are both on the ballot in a Republican Primary on June 25. Early voting is from June 15 to June 23.

“I am honored the Orleans County Sheriff recognizes the countless hours necessary to hold people accountable for their actions, especially after the recent legal obstacles enacted by the state, such as bail reform, Raise the Age and the new discovery rules,”  Sansone stated.

“My vast experience as a prosecutor has allowed me to navigate state-mandated impediments to administering justice is Orleans County,” Sansone continued. “While offering diversion, or other plea offers, has its place in resolving cases, sometimes having to conduct a trial is the only way to truly hold people accountable for their conduct. The fact my partners in law enforcement in Orleans County appreciate my proficiency as a prosecutor and trust me to get the right results means the most to me. Their hard work should not be bargained away without justification.”
