LETTER: Resident Endorses Challenger in District Attorney’s Race

By |

To the Editor,

In May, my husband and I had the pleasure of hosting a meet-and-greet fundraiser for our friend — and my husband’s colleague — David Solet, who is running for Middlesex District Attorney in the September primary election. During the event, David spoke passionately about what he calls the “Issues That Matter,” including stopping the flow of illegal guns, supporting sexual assault victims, protecting communities from dangerous offenders, combating hate crimes, improving prevention efforts, protecting elders from financial exploitation, and ensuring conviction integrity. What stood out most to many of us in attendance was David’s commitment to making the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office less political, more efficient, and more focused on helping victims and strengthening communities. The thoughtful questions and conversations among our fellow Watertown and Middlesex County residents made me realize that more people need to learn about David and his vision for the office. Because he is running a grassroots campaign, his resources for advertising and outreach are limited.
