Denise Burke is right for county prosecutor

Elections have consequences. Many local elections are won and lost by a matter of just a few votes. Which is why YOUR VOTE MATTERS. Our county prosecutor plays a significant role in our criminal justice system. The decisions she makes, such as charging and plea-bargaining decisions, have a direct impact on the lives and liberty of those affected. This discretion must be exercised with extreme care and the pursuit of justice.

That is why I urge you to consider Denise Burke for Alpena County prosecutor. Denise Burke has been practicing law in Alpena County for over 25 years. She raised her children here and has been active in the community — donating her time and resources to many organizations. Denise has experience as both a former prosecutor AND as a private practitioner. She manages her own business and understands the issues facing families and businesses in this community.

As both a former prosecutor and a defense attorney, Denise Burke knows how to balance the importance of enforcing our laws while considering the impact on the public and the legal rights of all persons involved. She is a proven litigator. And, as a business owner, Denise understands budgeting, contracts, managing cases and handling the everyday issues the elected prosecutor must confront in her official duties.

Denise Burke will be a zealous advocate for Alpena County.

What a great opportunity for Alpena County to choose between two female candidates — I hope this sets an example to many young women that their possibilities in life are endless! Stay safe and PLEASE VOTE.

LORA GREENE,

attorney,

Alpena
