THE IDEAL  CANDIDATE:  The San Diego District Attorney, in partnership with the Community, should be dedicated to the pursuit of truth, justice and protection of the innocent and the prevention of crime through the vigorous and professional prosecution of those who violate the laws of the State of California.  Additionally the ideal candidate will keep all “personal objections” to California written law at home or in the ballot box.           

ETHICS:  Candidate must be held to the highest standard of integrity and personal and professional conduct.  And will not allow “personal relationships” to interfere with the prosecution of a crime.           

RESPECT:  Candidate will treat fellow county employees and all members of the public with dignity and respect, specifically defendants who are found innocent as well as legal medical marijuana patients/caregivers.           

ACCOUNTABILITY:  Candidate must accept a shared responsibility for ensuring sound fiscal management, operational efficiency and continuous improvement.

COMMUNICATIONS:  Candidate will be open and forthright in communications with fellow prosecutors as well as all those with whom you come in contact.           

INCUMBENT HISTORY:  Bonnie Dumanis is the unchallenged incumbent to this position.  Since taking office in 2004 the current DA has alienated the position from the community and is no longer trusted by the courts, sheriffs or local police departments due to repeated poor judgment in allowing “personal opinion” and “personal relationships” to cloud the San Diego County justice system.
