WASHINGTON D.C.—New Politics today endorsed Marine veteran and respected attorney Pete Hardin for Orange County District Attorney. Emily Cherniack, Founder and Executive Director of New Politics released the following statement:
“Pete Hardin has demonstrated throughout his life and career what courageous servant leadership looks like. As a Marine Corps officer, he swore an oath to the Constitution, and every day he spent in uniform was driven by his commitment to its highest ideals. Out of uniform, Pete again swore to support and defend the principles our country was founded on, and whether as Deputy D.A. or as Special Assistant US Attorney, he’s done just that. New Politics is proud to endorse Pete Hardin to serve as District Attorney, where he’ll spend every day ensuring liberty and justice is not just promised, but guaranteed for all of his Orange County neighbors.”
