Richard C. Oustalet, Jr. - Trial Attorney

06/16/2026

I want to be your next District Attorney - not because I need a job, but because I want the challenge. I want the opportunity to lead and make a positive change in our community.

I’m running this campaign on a simple promise: I won’t tear anyone down to lift myself up.

You won’t hear me trading in rumors or taking shots at the other candidates. Not because they’re above criticism, but because that’s not the kind of leader I want to be — and it’s not the kind of community we deserve. Real change doesn’t come from negativity. It comes from showing up, doing the work, and treating people with respect even when we disagree.

So here’s my ask: before you vote, dig in. Look up where each candidate actually stands. Read the records, not the rumors. Find the real information that helps you make a choice you feel good about.

An informed voter is worth more than a hundred angry headlines.

Why is it important to contact an attorney before you speak to Law Enforcement? I know…”You know that you didn’t do anything, so how could it hurt?”

Estimates suggest that between 1% and 10% of all prisoners in the U.S. are wrongfully convicted, which could mean over 100,000 to over 300,000 innocent people are currently incarcerated. While thousands of exonerations have occurred since 1989, studies indicate that a substantial percentage of felony convictions, particularly in homicide and sexual assault cases, are wrongful, often due to official misconduct or misidentification.
