Former Westchester District Attorney Jeanine Pirro is running for Attorney General.
     A champion of justice, an advocate for victims and a pioneer for the rights of women, children and families,

Jeanine Pirro is uniquely qualified to become New York State's next Attorney General. Jeanine is the author of the highly acclaimed book To Punish and Protect - Against a System that Coddles Criminals, and is a sought after leagal analyst on national news programs.
     As a young prosecutor in 1978, Jeanine headed one of the first domestic violence units in the United States. After she was elected Westchester's first woman District Attorney in 1993,

Jeanine expanded these units into a Special Prosecutions Division to investigate and prosecute, not only cases of domestic violence and child abute, but also elder abuse and sex crimes.
     The Bureau nabbed over 100 pedophiles with a 100% conviction rate; it also trained personnel to create similar units across the country. A three-term District Attorney and past president of the New York State District Attorneys Association, Jeanine will create effective partnerships with New York's 62 District Attorneys to ensure that all of New York State has the resources to fight crime.
