Opinion
I write to publicly endorse Paul Ebert’s candidacy for Commonwealth’s Attorney of Prince William County.
I have served as a prosecutor in Alexandria for fourteen years, the past two as the elected Commonwealth’s Attorney.
As a young prosecutor, I had the pleasure of attending several conferences at which Mr. Ebert spoke. His humility, intelligence and integrity were immediately obvious.
He shared a number of the trial tips he had learned over his lengthy and distinguished career and was happy to serve in the role of mentor to the younger prosecutors in attendance. As Commonwealth’s Attorney, I have had the opportunity to see the respect and admiration other elected prosecutors have for Mr. Ebert. Simply put, when Paul Ebert speaks, his colleagues listen.
I know firsthand that being the elected prosecutor for a jurisdiction as large as Prince William County is a difficult job. It is not a political position – it is a career and a calling where experience and judgment really matter.
Throughout his career, Mr. Ebert has fought the good fight for the citizens of his county, holding murderers, rapists and other violent felons accountable so that the citizenry might feel safe in their homes.
The citizens of Prince William County are lucky to have as fine a public servant as Paul Ebert prosecuting on their behalf. I am honored to publicly endorse his candidacy.
