Legal Experience

The campaign describes Taylor's public-safety mission after referencing experience with violent crime, drug trafficking, and abuse cases: “From violent crime to drug trafficking to the abuse of our most vulnerable, I’ve handled it all. My mission is simple: protect the innocent and prosecute the guilty- fairly, fully, and without compromise.”

Under “Ensuring Fair, Honest Justice,” Taylor writes: “Politics has no place in the courtroom. I will run an office grounded in common sense, transparency, and the rule of law- never political agendas.”

Under “Supporting Law Enforcement,” Taylor writes: “Our officers deserve a DA who answers the phone. I’ve built trusted, lasting relationships with law enforcement because we can’t do this job alone. I’ll continue to be a 24/7 resource to our law enforcement partners.”

On his campaign biography page, Taylor describes his approach to working with police: “For decades, I’ve worked hand-in-hand with local law enforcement - and not just as a prosecutor, but as a partner in justice. I am available to them around the clock because I know how important it is for prosecutors and police to collaborate early and often in every investigation.”
