Civil division chief enters race for Snohomish County prosecutor
EVERETT — Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor Jason Cummings kicked off his campaign Thursday to become the next Snohomish County prosecutor.
Cummings, a Democrat, is seeking to succeed his boss Adam Cornell, who will not seek re-election in 2022.
In a statement announcing his candidacy, Cummings vowed to “prioritize the safety of every neighbor, ensure the Prosecutor’s Office provides accurate and unbiased legal services, and will exercise prosecutorial discretion to best serve our diverse community.”
Cummings is in his 23rd year with the Snohomish County prosecutor’s office. He has been chief civil deputy the past 14 years. Today, he oversees the civil division’s 35 attorneys and staff, and he also manages the department’s $30 million budget.
