Supports Todd Williams for district attorney

Gordon Grant, Asheville

As a citizen and public servant in Asheville for the past 20 years, I am pleased to support Todd Williams in his candidacy for district attorney.

I have seen him in close interaction with people from all walks of life in this town, and believe that his candidacy is well-based on an unusual combination of good judgment, effective interpretation of our laws, and above all, a compassionate understanding of the effect of the law on peoples’ lives. I believe that in the role of district attorney, he would never forget that effect of law, and therefore his office will remain open to public input as he applies it. I believe this because I have seen it in action.
