Kara Davis
Your Candidate for Wasco County District Attorney
I was raised on my family’s cherry orchard in Wasco County. My roots are deep, and I care deeply about my community.
As your District Attorney, I will:
ensure our community is safe,
work with victims so that their voices are heard,
see that people struggling with mental illness or addiction get the help they need to live productive lives and reduce harmful impacts on our community, and
make sure everyone passing through the justice system is heard and treated fairly.
I would be honored to have your vote this Spring.
“The greatest asset Davis will bring to the Wasco County District Attorney's Office office is her ability to contextualize cases, while simultaneously holding space for victims of crime, and bringing defendants to a place of accountability for their actions. In doing so, her work delivers the best possible outcome for those harmed, ultimately creating safety for the community and restoring justice to vulnerable people as a whole.” – Karen Shultz
