John, we are
excited to announce our first endorsement of 2023!

Real Justice PAC proudly endorses Parisa Dehghani-Tafti for her
re-election for Commonwealth’s Attorney of Arlington County and the city
of Falls Church, Virginia.

Parisa has been a lifelong public defender with an 18-year record of
defending vulnerable people and communities.

We were excited to endorse Parisa in 2018 and since taking office, she has
fought for fairness and justice. This includes ending the prosecution of
simple possession of marijuana, stopping cash bail, reducing the jail
population by 30%, partnering with the Vera Institute for Justice to
reduce racial disparities in the system, ending the criminalization of
people with mental health and substance use disorder, treating kids like
kids, and implementing a community-based prosecution model that centers
restorative justice and listens to victims.

Parisa also created a conviction review unit to correct and safeguard
against false convictions — the first of its kind in the Commonwealth.
And, in another first in the nation, she adopted a policy to stop the use
of peremptory strikes in jury selection so as to make juries truly
representative of the community.

While homicides rose 30% nationwide, they dropped in Parisa’s jurisdiction
by 50%. In 2021 and for about 16 months into 2022, Arlington County and
the City of Falls Church recorded zero homicides. More proof that crime
prevention and criminal legal reform go hand-in-hand.

We know that Parisa will continue building a better justice system that
keeps us safe, treats everyone fairly, and reflects the values of the
community, and are determined to make sure she is re-elected.
