MADERA -  Madera County District Attorney David A. Linn announced today that he is a candidate for re-election as Madera County District Attorney in the June 5, 2018 election.  Linn stated that although he said when he was first elected he was not sure if he would seek re-election, he has now decided to. 

All necessary documents and filing fees were provided to the Madera County Clerk’s Office/Elections Division earlier this week.  Linn stated that his candidacy will be a working campaign so that he can continue to efficiently run the District Attorney’s office and to continue his ongoing investigation of all Madera County Supervisors and the County Administration.

Linn further stated that he is running for a number of reasons.  First of all, he has been contacted by citizens throughout the county who have strongly encouraged him to remain in office so that he can fulfill his longstanding pledge to ‘Clean up Madera County.’ 

Secondly, although he has completed all of the promises he initially made to the voters in 2014, he wants to ensure that Madera County’s plan to construct a new District Attorney’s Office in Madera County and his goal to make the District Attorney’s office more efficient through computerization are finalized. 

Lastly, Linn stated “the fact that none of the other individuals who have stated that they are going to run for District Attorney, or have filed, have not been residents of Madera County for more than a few months, if at all.  I have lived in and practiced law in Madera County for 40 years.  I believe that if you want to represent the people of this county, you have to know them, their problems and the problems with their government.”
