Norfolk County DA Candidates Forum LIVE @ 7pm

This was a Norfolk County District Attorney (DA) candidates forum held on August 7, 2026, hosted by the Brainree Democratic Town Committee and broadcast by BCAM TV. The forum featured multiple candidates discussing their qualifications, experiences, and visions for the DA office. Key topics included addressing crime rates, mental health treatment versus incarceration, restoring public trust in the DA's office, and handling cases involving police misconduct and racial bias. Candidates debated the impact of controversial texts from a lead investigator, Michael Proctor, and proposed measures such as increased transparency, independent investigations, mental health courts, and community engagement to improve the office's integrity and effectiveness. While the forum focused heavily on criminal justice policies and community trust, no specific procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were discussed.
