Endorsements
As the former executive director of Safe Haven, I worked with District Attorney Greg Parker since he was elected in 2006. He has a clear understanding of domestic violence and sexual assault cases and has vigorously prosecuted offenders. DA Parker has participated in creating new procedures for victims, to ensure they remain safe and protected. He has successfully prosecuted and taken these offenders off the street. I support DA Greg Parker in his reelection and hope you will join me and vote for the right candidate for our community.

I worked with Greg Parker 11 of the 16 plus years that I served as a child protective and youth justice social worker for Shawano County Department of Human Services. During that time Greg partnered with the department to ensure children who have been abused or neglected are safe from those who have harmed them. Greg fought to bring justice for the children who were abused and worked with the department to find secure and safe permanence for these children. Greg also seeks justice in juvenile delinquency cases in which he ensures community safety and at the same time promotes rehabilitation for juvenile offenders. Since the time I left the department, I have stayed in touch with Greg and now consider him a friend. Greg’s compassion for the community has always and continues to shine through every aspect of his work. I support and endorse Greg in his re-election as District Attorney for Shawano-Menominee Counties.

I have been friends with Greg Parker for decades. I was a law enforcement officer for over 28 years. During my career with the Shawano Police Department I worked with the Shawano-Menominee District Attorney’s office on a daily basis. I can tell you first hand, Greg Parker is a law and order district attorney and a strong advocate of victim rights. Greg holds criminals responsible for the crimes they commit. I fully support and endorse his bid for re-election as Shawano-Menominee County District Attorney.

My daughter and son-in-law were murdered by a drunk driver in Cecil. District Attorney Greg Parker met with our entire family and explained the court process, guiding us through the criminal justice system in a compassionate and professional manner. Shawano and Menominee Counties are fortunate to have Greg Parker as their district attorney. He is vigilant in his efforts to protect the public from the epidemic of drunk drivers. My family is grateful the individual that caused us so much pain was successfully prosecuted by Greg Parker and is now serving 25 years in prison. (State vs. Richard G. Ware)
