When Dolores Carr ran for Superior Court Judge in 2000, this is what District Attorney George Kennedy said about her:

“I chose Dolores Carr to supervise the District Attorney’s Sexual Assault Unit because she has demonstrated over many years that the community can trust her judgment to evaluate cases fairly. She is of the highest character, has an excellent work ethic, and is a leader.”

Respected and Accomplished

"I worked in the DA's office for more than 37 years and am well acquainted with all four candidates. I endorse and support Dolores Carr for District Attorney for two primary reasons. First, she has broad experience and has demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities both inside and outside the DA's office. Second, and perhaps most important to me, she has a history of unquestioned integrity. I believe she will do a tremendous job serving the cause of justice in our community."
