– Longtime prosecutor and criminal justice expert Mike Frye today announced his campaign for San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge.
“Over my 25-year career as a prosecutor, both in federal and state courts, I have prosecuted hundreds of cases on behalf of victims and community members. I have devoted my career to upholding the rule of law and keeping our community safe.” Frye said, “If elected, I commit to running a courtroom where those who come before me—whether victim, defendant or any other person presenting their case—will leave feeling that they have been heard, even if they disagree with the outcome. It is very important to me that our judicial system is just and fair to all.”
District Attorney Dan Dow announced his early support for Frye, stating: “Mike Frye has been a compassionate and effective prosecutor– bringing justice to victims and representing the people of San Luis Obispo County well. He has the temperament, knowledge, and thoughtfulness to serve as a great Superior Court Judge.”
