Paul Gallegos is a good man and a good District Attorney. He’s not only a leader in Humboldt County, but in all of the North Coast. He has the people’s best interest at heart and is trying to do the right thing for Humboldt County; the citizen’s are lucky to have Paul as their D.A.
Should DAs be prosecuting cases?
I came into this office as an experienced trial attorney. When I first ran for this office, I did so with the understanding that smaller counties have needs that must be met in the courtroom. I let the voters know that I would be an active attorney—I would lead this office from the front. The budget for my office has consistently been small, and with the number of cases that pass through my office each year (typically 10,000, of which 250 go to trial) it is necessary for any Humboldt County District Attorney to be active in the courtroom.
