Buta Biberaj is the first woman ever and the first Democrat in more than 20 years elected to serve as the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Loudoun County, Virginia. Buta has modernized the office to focus resources on prosecuting violent crimes, tripling the number of prosecutors focused on domestic violence and sexual assault cases, and investing in prevention programs for veterans and those facing drug addiction and mental health needs. Buta’s approach is working: Since 2019, safety is up and violent crime is down 31%.
