Writer: Walsh has done an excellent job for county

It’s no wonder he had to leave Massachusetts when his brand of politics got so onerous he had to come to our state where nobody knows him.

County Attorney Walsh has done an ex­cellent job for Pinal County, is well respected throughout the state and has the breadth of experience required to run what is the larg­est law firm in Pinal County. His office has prosecuted more cases even as the actual crime rate is going down. He has done this by working closely with the sheriff ’s depart­ment to ensure investigations are run cor­rectly and by running an efficient operation. His staff now includes former county attor­neys who used to run other county attorney offices in the state because they respect Mr. Walsh and want to work with him.

The county attorney’s office is a multifac­eted operation advocating for victim rights, making sure “deadbeat” parents support their children, dealing with fraud to help protect small business interest and more. The County Attorney’s office is a complex public service and one that deserves expe­rienced leadership and not someone who throws rocks and hasn’t managed anything more complex then his checkbook.

Mr. Walsh deserves our vote for Pinal county attorney. Let’s not repeat the mis­takes of Maricopa County.
