"Jeff Smith has worked diligently to establish strong relationships with law enforcement professionals in Bradford County," explained Walters, "and we know from his years as our county judge that there is no one who will take a stronger stance against crime."
"I am honored and deeply appreciative that these law enforcement officers and so many others have embraced my campaign," said Smith. "They've watched the crime rate in Bradford County climb 40 percent in just a few short years. There is no denying that the current approach of the Bradford County District Attorney's office is not working. I have the experience and attitude needed to turn things around."
Smith retired as Bradford County Senior Judge in February in order to challenge incumbent district attorney Dan Barrett. Athens attorney Carrie Donald is also a candidate in the May 19 primary.
