Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson officially kicked off her campaign for a second term this past week, saying there is still work for her to do as the county’s top prosecutor.
She points to efforts she has created since she took office, such as the Junior DA mentorship program to introduce teens to jobs in the criminal justice system. She also points to her office’s efforts to clear out a backlog of cases, both those that originated during the COVID-19 and those that had been pending in the system in some cases for years before the pandemic.
The Gwinnett Daily Post is a daily newspaper published in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and serves as the county's legal organ. The newspaper is owned by Times-Journal Inc. and prints Wednesday and Sunday each week.
