District Attorney by county

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

So I was looking at this article;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_district_attorneys_by_county

ANd when I started to look at it I noticed it was weird. At first I figured that a lot of these were low profile elections and basically just ahdn't been chalenged for decades, but some of them are in counties that haven't voted for a democrat since 1936. Anyways it is an interesting map that sheds some light on a moderately powerful but obscure office.

Also some notes; most southern states elect their DA's by districts, Texas is weird and some places might have two and some counties are split, but it doesn't change the partisanship

Also shout out to Essex State's Attoreny Vincent Illuzzi for potentially being the only tripartisan elected official. According to Wikiepedia he is a Democratic, Republican, and a Progressive.

Milwaukee county is interesting. I guess they did elect Scott Walker as well.

sh&t that’s the one metro county that isn’t actually an error…

Like Memphis, Cincinnati, Tulsa, Overland County, and a buchhh of dem leaning counties have republican DA’s

John T. Chisholm is a Democrat.

By sheer coincidence I came across this Wikipedia link myself during an internet Rabbit Hole. Amazed there are two libertarian district attorneys

There's errors though. We already noted Milwaukee County.

I just double checked online and it turns out neither are errors. The one in New York is Broome County where Binghamton is. I don't know the local politics behind it but a long time assistant prosecutor for whatever reason ran as a Libertarian and narrowly defeated the Republican nominee while the Democrat finished a strong third.

The more surprising result was from I believe Greene County Iowa where some assistant prosecutor who was literally a year out of Law School became the County prosecutor when neither the Democrats nor Republicans filed anyone to run. The county has less than 9,000 people in it, almost half of whom live in the county seat, Jefferson, but it's still surprising that no local attorney wood want the job.

Ugh. I encourage anyone looking for a laugh 2 check out the Greene County Iowa district attorney's office website and click on the link about the attorneys biography. He apparently earned his PhD in history and Louisiana state and then move back to Iowa only four years before being elected. He actually includes his bibliography on his website and the titles are all just pure libertard cringe

Hell, even his photo just screams like someone who wore a fedora much of his life.

Surprised to see so many Democrat district attorneys in the deep south, and even in Little Dixie in Oklahoma. I'd thought most of the Democrats in local offices had retired or been wiped out, only a matter of time though I guess.

Most of those Southern offices are very much in the black belt. The Oklahoma Little Dixie contingent is still one area where Democrats aren't poisoned down-ballot for local races to my understanding.

There's a lot of diversity for these offices. As noted there are Republicans representing heavily Democratic counties, but likewise look at Democrats elected to county office in places like Henry and, especially, Putnam counties in northwest Ohio.

When do we get District Attorney Badger

New Jersey having every office be appointed definitely contributes to the state's corruption. It allows way more patronage.

Can someone explain Vermont’s bipartisan county attorney status?

Can someone explain Vermont’s bipartisan county attorney status?

I’m not 100% sure, but I do know some states such as New York allow coalition tickets (there is one bipartisan there, but also in Pennsylvania). I assume it’s there way of being sorta “non-partisan”, but getting nominated by every party, like Sanders/Zimmerman getting the democratic nomination while still being a progressive/independent

I see that DA Don Kleine of Douglas County, NE is marked as a Democrat on both the map and on the Wikipedia page's list. Kleine switched to the Republican Party in 2020. He was elected as a Democrat in 2018 (and years before), and is running for reelection as a Republican in 2022.

Thanks for the input!

If anyone else noticed an error pls let me know so I can fix it this week

Who's the Libertarian?? Also it's wild to see elected Dems in some of those Western KS counties.

There's two! Thomas Laehn of Greene, Iowa and Michael Korchak of Broome, New York

LOL! I might have potentially had a legit shot 6 years ago if I played my cards right and taken the plunge. However, my wife has correctly pointed out that back then we just weren't in the right place to be able to commit the time and effort necessary. Now I'm out of the closet as a bona fide Democrat and it's not about to happen.

Just reverse course, even anti-trump Republicans were able to lie through their teeth, if you went full MAGA + some no one will ever doubt you.

Wow, tremendous work in creating this! My only complaint would be that I have a very hard time distinguishing between the colors for nonpartisan and appointed (grey vs. tan).

All I'm seeing are a potentially good slate of statewide candidates in NC, LA, MS, KY, IA, KS & OH for wave years

Best of luck shepherding them through the primary, if you'd even actually want them elected once you found out their beliefs.
