Page8 The Lone Tree Reporter Thursday, April 10,2014 Lyness files for re-elecl:i,an Janet Lyness officially filed nomination documents for re- election for Johnson County At- torney. Lyness was first elected Johnson County Attorney in 2006 by 99 percent of the voters; she was re-elected for a second term in 2010 by 98 percent of the vot- ers. She is seeking election as Johnson County Attorney for her third term. Lyness has lived in Johnson County since 1977. She received her Bachelor of Science and Law degrees from the University of Iowa. She was licensed as an attorney in 1989 and began her career as an Assistant Johnson County Attorney in 1990. She was appointed First Assistant County Attorney in 2005 after extensive experience in criminal and civil law. She is a member of the UI Anti-Violence Coali- tion, the Johnson County Coali- tion Against Domestic Abuse, the Sexual Assault Response Team, and is President-Elect of the Iowa County Attorney's Association. Lyness has led the prosecution of major felony cases and mis- demeanors for 24 years. She has specialized in the prosecution of violent crimes. She supervises a staff of 28, including 13 attor- neys. Also, as County Attorney, she represents the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and the De- partments, Boards and Commis- sions of the County. Lyness says she has fulfilled her campaign promises by cre- ating numerous diversion pro- grams, including the Marijuana Diversion Program, which helps participants get substance abuse education and treatment with the goal of expunging their criminal records; the Driving Under Sus- pension "Rocket Docket," which helps citizens with suspended driver's licenses get their driv- ing privileges re-instated; and the Jail Populations/Diversion Pro- gram, which gets people out of jail. She has participated in the development of the Drug Treat- ment Court and the Family Treat- ment Courts for Johnson County. "I want to expand the diversion and treatment programs devel- oped under my leadership. The Oath of Office states that I will uphold the laws and the Consti- tution. The law must show im- partiality, justice and fairness to all," Lyness said. "My mission is to represent the concerns of the community while upholding the law and protecting the people of Johnson County." During her next term, Lyness seeks to address the lack of men- tal health treatment within the criminal justice system, and the concerns of racial disparity. Lyness has volunteered with the Iowa City Crisis Center, the Domestic Violence Intervention Program, and the Rape Victim Advocacy Program. Currently, she works with the Iowa City Pilot Club, the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, and the Free Lunch Program. She is a licensed foster parent. Subscrihe Suhscribe Opinions?
