~ Political Announcement ~

  SAUGUS – Nearly 300 supporters packed the Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus last Wednesday as James O’Shea officially kicked off his campaign for Essex County District Attorney.

  Introducing O’Shea at the event, his long-time friend, Attorney Kevin Foley, discussed James’s commitment to service and how his experiences have prepared him for the role of District Attorney. “James has had cases in every court in Essex County. He knows nearly every ADA in the county on a first name basis. James is known and respected by everyone in the courts of Essex County and across the Commonwealth,” said Foley. “His experience and background could make a real difference if he were elected District Attorney.”

  “I believe the next District Attorney must be someone with extensive experience practicing law, who knows firsthand how the DA’s office works and understands the concerns of those who work there, someone who has inside knowledge of how the courts function and knows how to improve the system from the inside out,” said O’Shea. “I believe with your help and support, I can be that person.”
