SALEM, Ore. – Governor Kate Brown is appointing a deputy district attorney to fill a vacancy in Jackson County Circuit Court.
Laura Cromwell has been a Deputy D.A. since 2007.
She is the county’s first Mental Health Deputy D.A., meaning she represents the county in all mental health-related cases.
Cromwell will fill a vacancy created by Judge Patricia Crain, who is retiring.
“Laura Cromwell is a hard-working prosecutor with unbounded talent, who is both compassionate and fair,” Governor Brown said. “I have no doubt that she will serve the people of Jackson County well as a circuit court judge.”
Cromwell’s appointment is effective September 1, 2018.
