Endorsements, Testimonials and Comments from People around Plymouth County that support Tim Cruz:
Joseph Shrand, MD, Marshfield- Letter to the Editor:
The opioid crisis has gripped our commonwealth. It is not partisan, does not discriminate, is not a Democratic or Republican issue. It impacts us all, whether you are an active user, are the friend or family of a person in distress, or have lost a loved one to an overdose. At this time of shared sorrow we need a champion to help. I am honored to endorse such a champion: Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz. He has protected children, the elderly, domestic violence victims, and the disabled from abuse by working collaboratively with local law enforcement, social service agencies, health care professionals, the faith community and educators on crime prevention initiatives throughout the county. DA Cruz has endorsed the availability of Narcan, the life-saving medicine that can reverse a potentially lethal overdose. The DA has helped support Drug Story Theater, bringing education to the middle and high schools across Plymouth County. He has worked to help the children who have been directly impacted by substance use in the family, following, supporting and implementing the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) program. By paying attention to the children DA Cruz hopes to avoid the next opioid crisis. I’m all for that.

Robert J. Pomeroy, Chief of Police, Plymouth (Ret.)- Letter to the Editor:
District Attorney Tim Cruz deserves your support on Election Day.
As the former chief of police for the town of Plymouth, I worked very closely with District Attorney Tim Cruz for many years. I first met Tim in 1985 when he was a new assistant district attorney assigned to the Plymouth District Court. Even back then, I admired what I saw – a tenacious prosecutor who had compassion for victims.
As district attorney, Tim and his staff are aggressive prosecutors who work closely with federal, state and local law enforcement to take dangerous criminals off the street to protect the public. Tim also has a deep commitment to the victims of crime and they never forget the impact that crime has on them.
Tim Cruz is a professional who has earned the respect of law enforcement. He is also a leader that has demonstrated his commitment to proactive prevention of crime through drug, alcohol and safety education programs for students, parents and educators.
District Attorney Tim Cruz deserves your support on Election Day.
