What is the central role of the district attorney? To enforce the laws that are enacted by the legislature, but I think the office has to be a great deal more than that. I think its more of an apolitical office, even though we’re running for parties, I think it ought to be more like the positions for judges in the state that are supposed to be nonpolitical. The job is supposed to benefit everybody. Some judicial districts around the state make use of special courtroom procedures or pleas for minor offenses like traffic violations.

City: GarnerVery few people actually know what the Clerk of Court does. What information should voters know about this office in order to cast an informed vote? When people hear the word Clerk, they think record keeper, they think administrative, but the Clerk is the comptroller. They handle millions of dollars of cash transaction a year. They are the judge of probates; they handle all probate matters.

Town: RaleighWhat is the central role of the district attorney? The primary role is to protect the public, to ensure that citizens’ rights are protected by the District Attorney’s office, to prosecute cases brought by law enforcement under the privy of laws and statutes that exist; that’s our primary duty. 
Some judicial districts around the state make use of special courtroom procedures or pleas for minor offenses like traffic violations. How would you handle cases like these in Wake County? We already have a system in place for minor traffic offenses.
