A Douglas County Deputy District Attorney who is running for a statehouse seat has a long history of prosecutorial missteps and choices that appear to belie his campaign’s tough-on-crime theme. 23rd Judicial District Senior Deputy District Attorney Nate Marsh is looking oust state Rep. Bob Marshall (D-Highlands Ranch), one of the few Democrats elected in blood red Douglas County.

Marsh is running a “law and order” campaign that lists “public safety” as its top issue, highlighting what he sees as failures of Democratic criminal justice policies.
