Low and McIntosh seeking Republican nod for district attorney

Jeffrey J. Low attended Cairo-Durham High School and earned degrees from Columbia-Greene Community College, SUNY Albany and New England Law in Boston. He resides in Earlton.

Chief Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Low and Assistant District Attorney Danielle McIntosh are both hoping to ascend to the top seat and have been actively campaigning for GOP support ahead of the party’s county convention later this month.

Low has been with the Greene County District Attorney’s Office since 2015 and was appointed chief assistant district attorney, the office’s second-in-command, in 2024.

“My duties include managing office operations, supervising staff, and assuming the duties of the district attorney when the district attorney is unavailable. I am involved in all the complex criminal investigations and prosecute the most serious and difficult felony cases. I provide guidance and effective leadership to assistant district attorneys, investigators and staff,” Low said.

Jeffrey currently works as chief assistant district attorney in the Greene County District Attorney’s Office.

Ran an independent legal practice from 2009 to 2015.

As Greene County's chief assistant district attorney, manages office operations, supervises staff, handles complex criminal investigations, and prosecutes serious felony cases.

Legal Experience

Plans to aggressively prosecute violent crimes and seek lengthy prison sentences rather than probation.

Low is lead prosecutor in the murder case against Rodney Pitt and Drew White, charged last November in the Cairo slaying of Roger Pitt, Sr. He is also heading the prosecution against Lameik Wilson who is accused of brutally assaulting a three-year-old child in Cairo last month.

“People who commit violent crimes in Greene County belong in state prison, not on probation. I will aggressively prosecute those individuals and bring those cases to trial to ensure lengthy prison sentences,” said Low.

Plans to continue prosecuting crimes against correction officers in Greene County's two state prisons.

“I will continue to prosecute crimes committed against our correction officers in our two state prisons. The safety of our officers is a serious concern of mine, their job has become increasingly more dangerous,” he said. “Drug dealers are ruining lives and killing residents in our community. The drug dealers also belong in state prison, they do not belong in drug treatment programs. Drug addicts belong in treatment programs.”

Supports prison sentences for drug dealers and treatment programs for people with addiction.
