Dear Denver,
As a career prosecutor, I have been honored to serve the public by advocating for vulnerable people caught up in the complicated criminal justice system. I have stood in courtrooms to fight for victims and I have seen firsthand the strengths and challenges of our justice system.
​
Our amazing City of Denver has undergone remarkable growth in the past decade and with that, it has also grappled with a surge in challenges. An acute shortage of affordable housing, bureaucratic systems that fail to elevate youth and strengthen communities, victims who feel marginalized and an increasing demand for mental health services have culminated in a state of urgent distress. In these trying times, our city finds itself at the precipice of a public safety crisis.
​
Denver needs experienced leadership with a proven track record of change management in the criminal justice system. As District Attorney, I will ensure that both public safety and human dignity prevail to create a city steeped in principles of justice.
​
As I've said many times throughout my career, I'm Leora Joseph, for the people. I look forward to working with you.
​
With gratitude,
Leora
