Wake County is growing fast. Our justice system isn’t. We are dead last in NC in prosecutors per capita. That means victims have to wait years rather than months for justice and repeat offenders are staying out on the streets much longer. We must do better.

Wake County is the largest county in NC — but our DA’s Office hasn’t kept up with the growth. That means victims have to wait years rather than months for justice and repeat offenders stay on the street much longer. @axios.com wrote about my plan to fix that. www.axios.com/local/raleig...
