County Coroner

Run for County Coroner – Bring Integrity, Compassion, and Science to the Front Lines of Justice

The role of County Coroner may not grab headlines—but it’s one of the most vital public safety and justice positions in county government. As the official responsible for determining causes of death and leading death investigations, the coroner is where medical science meets public trust.

For Democrats, this is an opportunity to lead with compassion, credibility, and integrity—ensuring every case is handled with dignity, transparency, and professionalism.

What You’ll Do:

• Investigate Unattended or Unnatural Deaths: You’ll lead or oversee investigations into deaths that are sudden, unexpected, or occur under suspicious circumstances—working closely with law enforcement, medical professionals, and forensic experts.

• Determine Cause and Manner of Death: Using available medical evidence, records, and scene investigations, you’ll provide legally sound determinations that often impact criminal cases, public health efforts, and grieving families.

• Provide Critical Testimony: Your findings may be central in court proceedings. You’ll need to explain complex medical information clearly and credibly.

• Support Families and Public Safety: This job is as much about people as it is about procedures. You’ll interact with families during deeply vulnerable times, and your professionalism will make a lasting impact.

Why Democrats Should Run:

Democrats believe in upholding public health, scientific rigor, and transparency in all levels of government. The coroner’s office is no place for cronyism, apathy or politics—this office demands dedication and a steady hand. As a coroner, you'll uphold dignity for the deceased, compassion for the living, and credibility in public safety.
