Survey by Tumbleweird — an independent community organization
Why did you originally choose to run for office?
Eric Eisinger
I am running for reelection because I love Benton County and I believe this county has a bright future. As the prosecuting attorney, I have a unique opportunity to do justice, hold offenders accountable, support crime victims, and advocate for the interests of our community. Great communities don't just happen. They must be protected. I am honored to play a key role in shaping a safe and thriving community.
What are the three most important things you want to do if you are elected?
Eric Eisinger
I will enforce the law and hold criminal offenders accountable for their conduct. I will support crime victims, and I will work with others to promote the welfare of the Tri-Cities and Benton County.
Imagine a world in which elected officials always do the right thing. How would that world differ from our own?
Eric Eisinger
Elected officials are public servants. The call of the public servant is to serve the people and always do the right thing. When our leaders act with integrity and truth, their focus is on meeting the needs of the public, not advancing their own interests. Those who lead with integrity are more interested in getting it right for the people than always being right. Their focus is on connecting with others, rather than creating barriers and separation, to carry out the mission of public service.
