O’Malley has a backround as a Prosecutor, a Judge, and now as an attorney in private practice, giving him a breadth of experience Peterson lacks. This is why, I think, outgoing DA Bob Kochly, former DA Gary Yancey, Sherrif Warren Rupf, and all these City police officer associations are backing him. He’s the superior candidate, by a country mile.
Really, City Councilman Mark Peterson is a longtime politician, having run for Concord City Council five or six times. I think the average voter understands that being a back-slapping City Councilman type doesn’t transfer over to a job like the elected DA. This is not a job for a blowhard politician, you want to have a savvy, experienced person in this job – one with close ties to the law enforcement community, which O’Malley has, as evidenced by all the support he’s getting from the law enforcement community. His experience a a longtime prosecutor, a Judge, and now as a private attorney gives him the edge, I think.

Has your newspaper endorsed anybody in the DA race? I don’t remember seeing anything.
