Melanie Ford, St. Louis County Attorney
Melanie was the first woman elected to St. Louis County Attorney in 2006 and hopes to continue to serve the citizens of St. Louis County. Ford’s top issues include public safety, equal justice, protecting children and the most vulnerable citizens while cutting costs and retaining quality work. In her tenure she has worked hard to prosecute cases promptly, in order to keep the public safe and hold criminals accountable. She has led efforts to keep children in school, with programs for tutoring chronically truant students and programs for keeping kids in the classroom and away from drugs and crime. She has prioritized equal treatment in the justice system and to reduce the disproportionate number of children of color in detention.
