“Thank you to the people of Hamilton County for putting your trust in me,” Garrison said. “This election is about ensuring that Hamilton County is safer for our residents now and training the next generation of prosecutors for the continued safety of our children, grandchildren, and generations to come.”
Garrison jumped into the race at the urging of law enforcement, judiciary friends, and family who were concerned with the current administration of the prosecutor’s office.
“I couldn’t sit by and watch,” Garrison said. “There are crimes in our county that are not getting prosecuted. There are felons on the streets who should not be. And with the growth of the county, inevitably that will lead to an increase in crime.”
Garrison points to his experience as what is needed.
“I’ve been prosecuting felons around the state for nearly 50 years,” Garrison said. “I have built a working relationship with law enforcement over the years, and I have earned their trust. Many can recall back in the 90’s when it was said that I wouldn’t be able to put Mike Tyson behind bars. I did.”
Regarding his plans for the office, Garrison said, “My plan is to build a stronger group of deputy prosecutors. The next generation of prosecutors in Hamilton County need to be trained now. I want it to be well known that Hamilton County is the last place you want to commit a felony.”
