Running for DA

I am announcing my candidacy for District Attorney for the 6th Judicial District in the November 2024 election. I am currently the Assistant District Attorney in the 22nd District Attorney’s Office, handling cases in Dolores and Montezuma counties.

My wife and I have two young children and reside in Durango. The goal of my campaign is to be smart and efficient with the prosecution of crime. I served as a city Prosecutor and assistant district attorney for 10 years before opening the Hatfield Eley Law Firm with Christian Hatfield, current District Attorney for the 22nd District. I have 18 years of criminal law experience. I’m running for District Attorney, because we need leadership with experience and vision to lead us forward to reduce crime. Nothing would mean more to me than to serve the people of La Plata, Archuleta and San Juan counties as District Attorney.
