“Lot’s Done, More to Do!” declared Assistant Criminal District Attorney Landon Campbell as he formally filed for the position of Criminal District Attorney for Hays County. Campbell, who is running to succeed his elected boss — Kelly Higgins, currently serves as Division Chief for the Misdemeanor and Specialty Courts Division, after working in every division in the office since 2018.
As he filed to run in the Democratic Primary, Campbell said that the Hays County Criminal District Attorney’s office had secured key reforms for the local criminal justice system but still had a long distance to go, according to a press release issued by the Campbell campaign.
“In the past three years, we have put meaningless talk aside and worked tirelessly for our neighbors here in Hays County — and we have achieved real results!” said Campbell. “From devastating a backlog of unfiled cases to investing fully in our diversion courts and programs to bringing on family justice, mental health, and environmental enforcement divisions, we are showing that local government can work when we get down to business!”
