The district attorney has a difficult and thankless job, but Susan Krones has distinguished herself by being a more competent and reliable professional than several of her predecessors.

This DA is a competent no-drama public servant, that is, she just prosecutes criminals.

In contrast, the antics of her opponent are unseemly, at best, and possibly unethical.

We don't need promises that won't be kept, news stories about good-old-boy grandstanding, and sometimes even embarrassing prosecutorial errors and malfeasance.

Let's have another four years of conscientious and experienced professionalism from DA Susan Krones.
