Fitzpatrick signals run for district attorney in drug battle
Fitzpatrick spoke to a GOP club about a potential district attorney bid. He argued for tougher drug laws and cited Dwight Williams’ 82 year sentence, saying war on drugs is over and focus should be on damage control. He warned against qualifiers for offenders and suggested loss of driving privileges as leverage. Local GOP members from Marcellus to Van Buren attended, with Leo Cooper elected club president as Gail Banks steps down.
