Stephen M. Howe was sworn in as Johnson County District Attorney at 10 A.M. on January 12th.

Following his swearing-in, District Attorney Howe offered the following comments:

It is an honor to serve the people of Johnson County. The District Attorney's office is charged with protecting our community. This can only occur by having a good relationship with law enforcement, community partners and the people we serve. As a team, we can all play a role in making Johnson County a safer place to live. My office will work hard to strengthen these relationships and to achieve these results while also being good stewards of the taxpayers' money.

My pledge to you is that I will be an objective District Attorney willing to enforce the law to ensure that justice is achieved, victims' voices are heard, and the community is protected. This pledge will be most vigorously upheld while fighting for those who cannot always protect themselves: children, the infirm and the elderly. I thank you for the opportunity to serve the people of Johnson County.
