Where does Christopher Matthew Markey stand on the issues?
Christopher Matthew Markey has a recorded position on four issues. Each is Civoren's summary of the campaign's own public material, with the source linked.
Criminal Justice Reform
SupportsMarkey wants to modernize the DA's office and make the justice system more responsive to victims' needs - proposing digital forensic labs in each district court so victims can download evidence without separate police-station appointments - while exercising discernment between 'the truly evil people' and those 'who made a mistake.'
“One proposal is to create digital forensic labs in district courts, enabling victims to quickly download evidence, such as text messages or photographs, from their cell phones without needing separate appointments at police stations.”
Elder & Senior Protection
SupportsMarkey has vowed to protect Bristol County seniors from elder exploitation, calling today's scams 'high-tech, predatory, and designed to exploit fear' - including AI voice spoofing, Bitcoin machine fraud, and grandparent scams - and pledging to continue and expand DA Quinn's elder-abuse prevention programs.
“The scams targeting our seniors today are not just crimes of opportunity; they are high-tech, predatory, and designed to exploit fear.”
Mental Health
SupportsMarkey plans to hire forensic psychologists (including a full-time forensic psychologist) in the DA's office to train staff, design individualized diversion programs for offenders suffering from serious mental illness, and refer traumatized victims and witnesses to support services.
“The mental health expert will educate our staff, determine effective, proper and individualized diversion programs for offenders who are suffering from true mental illness... And also refer witnesses and victims who have suffered through the criminal process to allow them to have power.”
Public Safety
SupportsMarkey says his first priority and responsibility as DA would be public safety, pledging to prosecute the most violent offenders 'with a firm hand and unwavering eye towards justice,' citing his record of homicide convictions and tough-on-crime legislation.
“Chris' first priority and responsibility will be public safety. That means prosecuting the most violent offenders with a firm hand and unwavering eye towards justice. As a prosecutor, Chris put career criminals and violent offenders behind bars. As a legislator he wrote the laws to hold criminals accountable.”
