    3. Mr. Solis is not the first attorney from outside a prosecutor’s office to win an election. I appreciate that there are people who didn’t vote for him and they may have had very good reasons but he won the election fair and square and now deserves a chance to prove he’s up to the task. He deserves a fair chance the same as Ms. McNeill would had she won. Maybe he’ll do some good. Seems like he’s made one good decision already.
