Press Release
After serving almost 12 years as Bristol County District Attorney, I have decided not seek re-election for a fourth term. It has been a great honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Bristol County. I will be forever grateful for the support I received from the DA’s staff, my family, and members of the community when I was appointed by Governors Deval Patrick and Charlie Baker in 2015.
I became a prosecutor nearly 40 years ago and have dedicated my career to the pursuit of justice. During that time, the courtroom became a second home. It is there that I learned the profound responsibility to uphold the law with fairness and integrity.
Born and raised in Bristol County, this community has always been more than the place I worked, it is my home. I have tried to be a District Attorney who listened, who respected differing perspectives, and who worked to ensure that justice was administered thoughtfully and fairly to all.
I want to thank the prosecutors, law enforcement officers, court personnel, and staff with whom I have had the privilege to work. I am also thankful to the residents of Bristol County for the trust they have placed in me over the years.
I am very proud of our accomplishments during my time as District Attorney.
I remain fully committed to carrying out the responsibilities of this office with the same dedication and focus that have guided my 28 years as a prosecutor. I will continue to fight for the victims and citizens of Bristol County as I complete my final year in office.
Thomas M. Quinn, III, Bristol County District Attorney
