This candidate brings the right mix of toughness, experience to be Tarrant Co. (TX) DA

Westfall, 52, of Fort Worth is plenty tough on crime while embracing drug diversions and other sensible programs that seek to intervene in criminal behavior. The SWIFT program she pioneered in Tarrant Co. deals with probation violations as they occur. Sanctions such as a night or two in jail deliver prompt consequences without completely derailing an offender who’s trying to stay clean of drugs or otherwise get on the right path.
