Farrington lacks the experience to be our next district attorney

After observing Anthony Farrington's campaign of rhetoric and fear-mongering, I am embarrassed for someone I have known for almost 20 years and, at one time, had respect for his public service.

To listen to one who grew up in privilege like Anthony, and inherited much of his wealth and properties, refer to poor people living in old resorts and motels (the only place they can afford) as criminals and “human blight” is disgusting. I was a child when my father disappeared and the only place my single mother could afford, while putting herself through school, was in one of those resorts. Maybe, in his 16 years as a county supervisor, Anthony could have focused more on developing managed affordable housing and the poverty and crime surrounding these places would not exist.

I am not going to spend this letter telling Anthony how he should do his job. I will leave that to experts like Richard Hinchcliff, whose letter on May 9, outlined with great detail that Anthony lacks the experience to be our next district attorney, and in many of his campaign promises, shows he doesn't even have a clear understanding of what the job is.

The last time we experienced a local campaign with such ridiculous rhetoric from an unqualified candidate, his name was Frank Rivero, and we made him sheriff. Let's not make a mistake like that again!

I am voting for another person I have known for almost 20 years. I know she has the experience and ability to do the job. That person is Susan Krones. Susan served our country in the US Army and knows hard work. She treats those without the generational wealth, that Mr. Farrington enjoys, with equity and she doesn't put labels on them or discount their worth. She has a long record of fighting for justice and she will continue to run our district attorney's office with professionalism and class.

Join me in casting your ballot for Susan Krones.
