Rochester, N.Y. — Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley announced Wednesday she'll seek a fourth term as the county's top prosecutor.

Doorley said she accepted the nomination from the Monroe County Republican Party.

Doorley became the county's first female district attorney when she was elected in 2011.

She has been with the Monroe County District Attorney's Office for more than 30 years.

“I am elated to once again announce my re-election for Monroe County District Attorney,” Doorley said in a statement. “Working to make Monroe County a safer place to live is my life’s passion and I cannot wait to continue to make a difference."

"With a record-setting number of homicides and an unprecedented number of illegal weapon charges, an experienced District Attorney is more important than ever," she continued. "I know that I am the right person to continue this work and make this community safer. My primary responsibility to the people of Monroe County is to hold violent offenders accountable and make it a safer place for everyone to live."
