District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett issued the following statement:
“After considerable thought and discussion with my family, I have decided not to seek a 6th term as District Attorney of Essex County.
It has been a great honor and privilege to serve as the Essex District Attorney for the past 20 years. I will always be indebted to the people of Essex County for their confidence in me.
I am proud of the team I assembled, who work hard every day to seek justice for victims of crime. Their diligence, determination, ethics, and compassion have served the people of this county well and have made my job deeply rewarding.
There is still work to do, and I am honored to continue to lead this office until the completion of my term.”
D.A. Blodgett was elected in 2002 and is currently serving his 5th term.
