Showing The Way
Reelect Seth Ryan
“…a rural District Attorney must not only be the general but also a soldier in the trenches."
There is a national war against law enforcement, prosecutors, and those who seek to protect our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. This has contributed to a nationwide labor shortage of people willing to serve their communities in these capacities. Colorado has been on the front lines of this war, and the news is wrought with examples of DA’s offices that have had to enlist the help from the Attorney General because of attorney shortages and office-head resignations.
During this unparalleled labor shortage, I have been forced to carry out a dual role as both the office head and a lawyer on the front lines fighting for our communities. In these trying times, a rural DA must not only be the general but also a soldier in the trenches. From obtaining trial convictions on a man threatening to kill a police chief, sending four to prison for murdering two little girls, to obtaining life sentences for a man who sexually terrorized a 12-year-old, my 17-year track record with the Office speaks for itself.
I am extremely proud of our attorneys and support personnel who work together to carry out the important mission to protect our cities, towns, and neighborhoods in these unprecedented times.
With your support and vote, I will continue this vital mission.
Sincerely,
Seth D. Ryan
District Attorney
Colorado's 7th Judicial District
