“Fifteen years ago, I ran against Gil Garcetti in the election for Los Angeles County District Attorney. We disagreed on every issue. Today, I completely agree with Gil that Danette Meyers is the best candidate to be the next District Attorney of Los Angeles County."

Rev. Dr. Cecil "Chip" Murray

Former Head of the First A.M.E. Church of Los Angeles
Tanzy Chair of Christian Ethics, U.S.C.
Senior Fellow, Religion Civic Culture, U.S.C.

“History is her story, how for a quarter of a century Danette Meyers has prosecuted more cases than any other elected D.A. in the history of Los Angeles. Her story includes her selection as Prosecutor of the Year twice, and being recognized as one of the Top 100 lawyers in California. Her story includes her election as the first female African American President of the 26,000 member Los Angeles County Bar Association. Now it's up to fair minded voters like those of us who know her record to celebrate her story by electing her as Los Angeles County District Attorney in 2012. Make her story history."

Quincy Jones

"Danette Meyers' credentials as an accomplished trial lawyer and veteran criminal prosecutor are without question. But what makes Danette unique is she understands that the justice system extends beyond the criminal side. Throughout her 25 year career she has spent her own time outside the District Attorney's office to ensure that the entire justice system is working. Danette's broader community perspective is key to the effective pursuit of justice. I wholeheartedly endorse Danette Meyers as the next District Attorney of Los Angeles County."
