Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn to not seek re-election for fourth term; here is what he had to say
Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn has announced in the following statement that he will not seek re-election.
“After serving almost 12 years as Bristol County District Attorney, I have decided not seek re-election for a fourth term. It has been a great honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Bristol County. I will be forever grateful for the support I received from the DA’s staff, my family, and members of the community when I was appointed by Governors Deval Patrick and Charlie Baker in 2015.
“I became a prosecutor nearly 40 years ago and have dedicated my career to the pursuit of justice. During that time, the courtroom became a second home. It is there that I learned the profound responsibility to uphold the law with fairness and integrity.
“Born and raised in Bristol County, this community has always been more than the place I worked, it is my home. I have tried to be a District Attorney who listened, who respected differing perspectives, and who worked to ensure that justice was administered thoughtfully and fairly to all.
“I want to thank the prosecutors, law enforcement officers, court personnel, and staff with whom I have had the privilege to work. I am also thankful to the residents of Bristol County for the trust they have placed in me over the years.
“I am very proud of our accomplishments during my time as District Attorney.
“I remain fully committed to carrying out the responsibilities of this office with the same dedication and focus that have guided my 28 years as a prosecutor. I will continue to fight for the victims and citizens of Bristol County as I complete my final year in office.”
