Protecting the community is the prosecutor’s first duty. Violent crime, crimes against children, and repeat offenders will be prosecuted firmly and consistently. The law will be enforced fairly, decisively, and without favoritism — because safety depends on accountability.
Justice should be timely, organized, and professional. A well-run prosecutor’s office respects victims, law enforcement, and the courts by moving cases efficiently, reducing unnecessary delays, and making decisions grounded in facts, law, and sound judgment.
Being tough on crime also means being smart about solutions. For appropriate nonviolent cases, structured alternatives like treatment and problem-solving courts can reduce repeat offenses while maintaining accountability — making the community safer in the long run.
Stephanie Hamilton is a Steuben County native, an Angola High School graduate, and a proud mother of three. A Republican with more than 15 years of experience in family and criminal law, she has spent her career working inside the justice system and alongside local law enforcement, families, and the courts.
Stephanie believes the prosecutor’s first responsibility is public safety. Violent crime must be met with firm, consistent enforcement of the law, victims must be treated with respect, and offenders must be held accountable. At the same time, the justice system must be run efficiently, fairly, and with sound judgment.
As a practicing attorney and business owner, Stephanie understands the importance of organization, professionalism, and leadership. She is running for Steuben County Prosecutor to deliver smart justice and safer communities for the county she proudly calls home.
