A good prosecutor is someone who recognizes the Constitution and doesn’t weaponize it against the people. I know I meet those standards. Can’t speak for my opponent. Vote Danny for County Prosecutor Nov 3. For Justice. For All. #spokane #spokanecounty #easternwa

In a Spokane race that will likely come down to the wire, a MAGA Republican who has made clear his intent to weaponize the legal system to stifle political dissent is running for County prosecutor. His record on police misconduct, domestic violence, and racism in policing is damning:

Conservative big corporate interests continue shoveling money at their favorite conservative Democrat in #WALeg, Amy Walen. They're hoping the money can beat the many. Our members are fighting back by raising money to elect progressive Jessica Forsythe and defeat the corporations' puppet politician

Big day! 🧡 I spoke at the SRLC Labor Rally, then the NAACP Spokane County Prosecutor Forum on restorative justice, racial disparities & confronting bias. The prosecutor is elected to carry out the people's will. Knowledge is power, and power belongs to the people. For Justice. For All. 🌻 #spokane

Thanks to the MAGA justices on the Roberts Court, Washington must ONCE AGAIN have more lawsuits over redistricting; this time so the GOP can try and pick and choose their voters by diluting the votes of Hispanic voters 😡

The messages in which officers Daniel Valencia and Matthew Stewart strategized their reports were part of a longer string of texts that started one hour and 14 minutes after they’d killed Joshua Musselman from more than 100 feet away as he was fleeing into his apartment.

Wow, we have a LOT of endorsed candidates this year! 35 to be exact, plus 2 initiative campaigns: @no645.bsky.social & @nohateinwastate.bsky.social That number is high because there are so many races this year where we can flip a GOP seat blue or replace a conservative dem with a progressive!

Since Washington’s mask ban took effect, people have continued to see masked ICE officers making arrests. For instance, an immigration advocate estimated that 20% of the arrests in the Yakima Valley — which have surged in the last couple of months — have been made by masked ICE officers.

Garland Pride was great 🌈. Grateful for volunteers Aaron Croft and Andrew Bartleson for tabling with me, and glad to share space with our neighbors at the NAACP Spokane Branch, fighting for justice in our community for generations. For Justice. For All. 🧡 #spokane #garlandpride #easternwa

Last but certainly not least, @dannyforprosecutor.com is hot on Republican McCollam's heels in their race, down by less than 1% and just over 1000 votes. Danny would be incredibly transformative for justice in Spokane County. Also the Yes for Buses campaign has officially declared victory! 🥳🚌

Presented my “Prism System” research at APA’s 2026 Annual Convention in DC. It’s an interdisciplinary argument — philosophy, psychology, law, neuroscience — on why restorative justice isn’t one-size-fits-all. As a former prosecutor, I believe we need this framework to serve justice well. 🧠⚖️ #spokane

As of Friday, August 7, we are in the lead by over 200 votes in the primary! Very exciting, but there are still votes to count. We’ll keep you updated! For Justice. For All. 🌻 #spokane #spokanewa #easternwa #spokanecounty
