DA Jeff Reisig - District Attorney for Yolo County
“I strongly support balanced criminal justice reform that reduces recidivism and advances public safety — and this can only be accomplished when crime victims are a fundamental part of the process, when their voices are heard and their rights upheld. This is why providing steadfast victims advocacy ranks high on my office’s Bill of Values, and why we created Hear Us Yolo.”
