| An Open Letter to the Citizens of Gotham City
Gotham is once again faced with challenges. The Narrows attack and the subsequent violence have exposed more than a corrupt police department and an aging infrastructure. It has revealed a Gotham City divided between rich and poor. Garcetti represents status quo. Garcetti asks us to trust him. Trust Garcetti? His record speaks for itself. Harvey Dent has taken a stand against police corruption but how much of Dent's efforts are about promoting Harvey Dent? Harvey Dent is a politician. In my work as a Gotham's Victim Advocate, it's become very clear to me that no one is speaking for the majority of Gotham's citizens. Yes, corruption is a problem. But unless we have a new vision of Gotham, a city where everyone has the same safety and opportunity, nothing is going to change. Garcetti stand for status quo. Dent stands for power. I stand for you. WHO WILL SPEAK FOR YOU? |

My Story
| I grew up in Pettsburg. My dad started out as a machinist for D.L. Metals and Parts (now Gotham Tool and Die) my mom was a stay at home mom. My little sister Julie and I were Gotham Girl Guides (my mom was a troop leader.) We had a cat named Sneakers and a hamster named Jumble.
I was in college when my mom called me and told me I needed to come home that night. I drove home from school. My mom sat me down at our kitchen table, at the plaid placemats where we ate dinner as a family on Sundays, and told me that my sister, Julie, had been assaulted, in the parking lot at the mall where she worked at a music store. I can't say that I found my life's calling that night. I can only say what every victim, and every victim's family says. That night everything changed. You walk into that conversation one person, and walk out another person. What happened to my sister was awful, but what happened after that felt even worse. Her attacker was caught. My seventeen year old sister bravely identified him from a line-up. She testified in court. And he was in jail for eighteen months. Her assailant, who had a court appointed lawyer, got his GED while he was in jail. He was required to attend a substance abuse program. And my sister? My sister had anxiety attacks. She found it harder and harder to leave the house. She broke up with her boyfriend. She graduated from high school, but couldn't bring herself to go to college. When she tried to take a tour of Gotham University, she had a panic attack in the parking lot. My sister got counseling, with the help of my family, and today Julie is a speech therapist. But as I have found, for many victims, things don't turn out so well. |

| Message from Dana Worthington
To my fellow citizens of this wonderful city, Hello. I’m Dana Worthington. I just wanted to say a couple things about the political shenanigans going on right now. My two opponents are locked in a mudfight. Dirty attacks are flying, and both of my opponents are more interested in making political points than actually helping Gotham. Are you sick of these kinds of dirty tricks? This type of old politics is exactly what’s ailing Gotham. We need new politics. We need someone who is interested in making Gotham safe, not attacking their political opponents. My friends, that person is me. Please help me become District Attorney of Gotham City, and I will not let you down. Thank you for all your support, Dana Worthington PS. Somebody left a blue wool sweater at my campaign offices. I know it’s probably very expensive, so come and pick it up! I’m keeping it until you come! |

| A Message to the Citizens of Gotham from Dana Worthington
The citizens of Gotham are smart. You really, really are. I’ve met so many of you in this campaign. And it has made me realize that you do see what’s going on in Gotham City. You know that I have been a tireless supporter of victims’ rights for decades. I speak for those who have no voice, I fight for those who are weak and I stand up, time and time again, against politicians like Roger Garcetti and Harvey Dent who have led us into this mess. I’m not a politician, I am an advocate for all the regular people in Gotham who have been wronged, hurt, and overlooked by the politicians in power. I do not like to speak badly of people, but I must admonish the name-calling between Mr. Dent and Mr. Garcetti during this campaign. Where is the positive exchange of ideas from elections past? The spirit of camaraderie? The idea that the best person should win? I know one thing. Gotham wants to restore a sense of justice and honesty to the office of DA, no matter who gets elected. But, if that person should be me, I promise to build all of us up without tearing others down. Thanks, and hope to see you at the campaign headquarters! Thanks, and make sure to vote your conscience. Dana Worthington |
