Orleans County should elect Howard, clearly the best choice for DA

It’s truly embarrassing that it has taken this long for a woman to be elected as Orleans County district attorney especially when the woman in this race is the most accomplished the most qualified and the only candidate that’s actually from our community.

We have enough carpet-bagging candidates sliding into government positions based on politics. It’s high time that the most qualified, skilled and community-minded candidate has the opportunity to serve based on merit.

We need someone who knows the ins and outs of our local community in Orleans County because she grew up in our local community. We need someone who knows how to hold criminals accountable because she’s been doing it at the highest level for the past two decades as 1st Assistant District Attorney.

Sometimes the obvious choice is also the best choice. The only choice for Orleans County District Attorney in this primary election of Republicans is Susan Howard!
