People should vote Ed Rabasco for district attorney.

Ed was born and raised in this community. He is experienced in the criminal justice system. He is looking to change what is not working.

We spend millions of dollars on a criminal justice system that produces the same results year after year. The taxpayer is never considered in this process. Every day there are over 100 people at our three county jails who can’t post bail. Many of them are there for minor offenses. It is very expensive to house them on our taxes.

The same people repeatedly commit most of the crimes. It’s an endless cycle. Substance abuse is the primary contributor. Domestic violence occurs repeatedly, and our system does little to stop either one. It’s time for new ideas.

Those who want change and responsible management of their tax dollars should join me and vote Ed Rabasco for district attorney.
