It’s time Harris County had a D.A. for all.

Our Platform

Public safety is compromised every day in Harris County because our elected leaders choose to focus the attention of the criminal justice system on low-level crime while failing to solve and successfully prosecute some of the most serious crimes. This approach is costly, counter-productive, and cruel. It creates a cycle of incarceration that destroys people and families without doing anything to make us safer. The current District Attorney promised that she would reform this broken system, but sadly little has changed. We are still locking up people for possessing marijuana and detaining people who are presumed innocent because they cannot afford the high bail amounts requested at the direction of the current District Attorney.

We need to rewrite the rules of our criminal justice system in Harris County. We must focus our resources on holding people accountable for the most serious crimes, and investing in evidence-based services like mental health and drug treatment that we know work to interrupt cycles of crime and help people become stable, contributing members to their families and communities. Thatâ€™s the justice system Audia Jones will fight for everyday as your District Attorney. Audia is running for District Attorney because true criminal justice reform in Harris County requires policies that will: Increase Safety While Ending Mass Incarceration; End Excessive Punishment;

Ensuring That No One Is Above The Law; Support Crime Survivors; and,

Build Community Trust.

LET’S INCREASE SAFETY WHILE ENDING MASS INCARCERATION Incarceration should always be the last resort, but right now we treat incarceration as the default way to hold people accountable. People who pose no threat to public safety should not be jailed, particularly when they’re only there because they can’t afford to pay to get out. As District Attorney, Audia will stop seeking cash bail and will seek to eliminate pretrial incarceration unless necessary to ensure community safety or to prevent willful failure to return to court. Furthermore, we must recognize that the incarceration for certain criminal offenses does little to increase public safety, and, instead, only makes our communities more dangerous by making people and their families even less stable. This is particularly true for brown and black families, because prosecution of low-level crimes contribute to a persistent racial imbalance in our criminal justice system- for example,

even though Latinos, African-Americans and white people use marijuana at the same rate, Latinos and AfricanAmericans are more likely to be arrested, charged, and convicted than their white counterparts. In order to focus on those crimes that affect public safety, Audia will de-prioritize low level offenses like marijuana possession and criminal trespass when the trespass occurred due to a personâ€™s homelessness. The prosecution of these cases in particular draws vital resources and attention away from the cases that need it the most, and contribute to racial disparities in our criminal justice system. Harris County must also focus on programs that build both the individual and their community. Audia will expand no-fee diversion programs, which have been shown to reduce rates of re-arrest, for crimes such as theft, and crimes of poverty and homelessness. She will ensure that prosecutor-led diversion programs are administered in ways that are fair to citizens and non-citizens alike, and that ability to pay fees is not a barrier to treatment. Possession of small amounts of narcotics will be handled effectively, by treating the problem as one of a public health issue and not something that the criminal justice system can solve on itâ€™s own.
