Democratic Monroe County district attorney candidate Shani Curry Mitchell on Tuesday was endorsed by Rep. Joe Morelle in her bid for the office.
“We deserve a District Attorney who puts the people of Monroe County first,” Morelle said.
“Shani Curry-Mitchell has the experience, knowledge, and passion necessary to keep Monroe County families safe and protect our community. I am proud to support her candidacy and know she will work tirelessly to uphold the integrity and transparency of our justice system.”
Incumbent District Attorney Sandra Doorley, a Democrat-turned-Republican, was backed in February by the county GOP to seek re-election.
“I’m honored to have support of Rep. Joe Morelle,” Curry Mitchell said.
“Rep. Morelle is a strong advocate for working people and committed to building a safer and healthier Monroe County. Our county deserves a District Attorney who will hold companies accountable for wage theft, ensure local pharmaceutical companies are not taking advantage of vulnerable patients, and address unscrupulous business practices that hurt workers and hurt our local economy.”
