Yesterday, I was honored to earn the endorsements of both @bostonglobe.com and @bostonherald.com for Middlesex District Attorney. These two newspapers don’t always see things the same way. I’m proud to be the kind of candidate who can bring together people with different perspectives.
Fairness and public safety are not opposites. Massachusetts’ dangerousness law has a major loophole that can limit what prosecutors can do even when evidence shows someone poses a serious danger. That needs to change. davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
A DA’s job cannot begin only after someone has been harmed. Prevention matters. As DA, I’ll rebuild partnerships with organizations doing proven work with young people and make the office a stronger partner in keeping communities safe. davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
DNA technology can solve crimes that once seemed unsolvable. Our laws need to keep up. Survivors of sexual assault should not lose a path to justice simply because time has passed. Here’s what I’ll fight to change: davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
Scams and financial crimes keep getting more sophisticated, and older residents are too often the targets. Protecting seniors from fraud and exploitation will be a priority of my administration. Crime changes. Prosecutors have to change with it. davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
A strong justice system needs strong prosecutors — and strong defense counsel. Fair pay for court-appointed attorneys isn’t bad for prosecutors. It’s good for justice, and it helps make sure everyone gets the representation our system promises. davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
Hate crimes do more than harm one victim — they threaten the safety and fabric of entire communities. Massachusetts’ laws are too weak for the seriousness of these crimes. As DA, I’ll speak up and fight to strengthen them. davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
I’m thrilled to share my SECOND major endorsement today from @bostonherald.com. 50+ unions, The Boston Globe, and The Boston Herald ALL endorse my candidacy for Middlesex District Attorney. Read the full endorsement: www.bostonherald.com/2026/08/25/e...
I’m honored to share that the @bostonglobe.com Editorial Board has endorsed my candidacy for Middlesex District Attorney. Read the full endorsement: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/25/o...
Every homicide case begins with an unimaginable loss for a family. Lisa Koehler trusted me to fight for justice after her son was murdered. Her words mean more to me than I can say. As DA, I’ll bring that same commitment to every victim and every family we serve. #mapoli youtu.be/XE3C_apJSr0?...
A Breathalyzer can detect alcohol. It can’t tell us whether a driver is impaired by drugs. Our tools and laws need to catch up with the reality on our roads. As DA, I’ll push for better ways to identify and prosecute drugged driving. #mapoli #MiddlesexMA davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
A prosecutor’s job is not simply to win convictions. It is to do justice. That means following the evidence wherever it leads, correcting mistakes when they happen, and protecting the integrity of every conviction. That will be my standard as DA. #mapoli davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
“If you don’t have justice for everybody, you have justice for no one.” - Betty Anne Waters Betty Anne knows what it means when the system gets it wrong. I’m grateful for her trust, her friendship, and her support. She shares a powerful reminder of what justice demands. youtube.com/shorts/Wvi_q...
We can and should do more to stop illegal gun violence. As DA, I’ll create a dedicated Crime Gun Unit to trace crime guns, identify trafficking networks, and disrupt the flow of illegal weapons into our communities. More on my plan: davidsolet.com/issues-that-matter
Crime changes. Technology changes. Prosecutors have to change with them. As DA, I’ll bring modern tools to the office — including a new Cyber Protection Unit — while bringing the same persistence I brought to leading the Cold Case Homicide Unit. Justice. For All. youtu.be/ELJuvQOus5s?...
