Dear Friends,
I launched my campaign in November 2016 with the goal of bringing a new vision to the Marin District Attorney’s office -- to bring it in line with our modern values, to bring justice with integrity.
No one said it would be easy. For more than 80 years, the top job has been handed down from one insider to the next. It has been 20 years since we had a contested election. The Marin Independent Journal called me an “insurgent” for having the audacity to challenge the status quo.
But sometimes we must take big risks in order to make big gains. I spent the past two years meeting thousands of Marinites. I have listened to stories of inspiration and stories of heartbreak. I have had the privilege of getting to know all of you, the people who stood with me and gave so generously of your time, talents, dollars. And your friendship. Your gifts powered this campaign. I feel like you have all become part of my family, united in creating a better Marin. For that I will be forever grateful.
In the final tally, we fell short by 386 votes - a difference of just 0.34%.
Do not lose heart. What we have done is remarkable. What started out as a longshot campaign became a movement. Bringing back rape kit exams, protecting the environment, keeping our kids on track, fighting racial inequity, combating elder fraud, standing up to ICE, treating mental illness, and addressing the root causes of homelessness -- we have started the conversation and demanded action. We have changed the way we think about a District Attorney from the traditional reactive, punitive role to a...
This race is so close! We're still working to make sure every vote is counted. We had a great turnout of volunteers this weekend.
Is anyone available to volunteer tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesday? Reply below or message me. Thank you!
The gap is closing! Just 393 votes away with 3500 left to count.
We're working hard to make sure every vote is counted. If you're able to volunteer this weekend, let me know!

After Wednesday's update from the Marin County Registrar, we’ve narrowed the gap to 1,655 votes! There are still nearly 25,000 ballots left to count.
The race for DA is coming down to a razor-thin margin. 875 ballots did not count because they lacked a signature or the signature on the envelope did not match the one on file.
If your ballot was missing a signature, you have until this Wednesday at 5pm to correct it. If you had a signature matching problem, you have until November 28. Let us know if you need more info!

With an additional 11,594 votes counted since election night, the contest between Lori Frugoli and Anna Pletcher to determine who will replace retiring Marin District Attorney Ed Berberian has tigh…
It’s not over yet! With nearly half of the votes left to count, this race is too close to call. We’re waiting for all of the ballots to come in for what looks to be a razor-thin margin.
I want to take this moment to thank every single one of you. Thank you to the more than 1,000 individuals who made financial contributions, more than 100 neighbors who hosted house parties; to the volunteers who knocked on over 7,000 doors, texted 40,000 voters, and called nearly 10,000 households. Thank you for dedicating your time and energy, your encouragement and wisdom.
Whatever happens once all the votes are counted, we’ve already made a huge difference. We have demanded that the District Attorney defend our environment, rebuild trust in our immigrant community, treat the mentally ill instead of cycling them through jail, end racial bias in the criminal justice system, shut down the school-to-prison pipeline. And bring rape kit exams back to Marin County.
This campaign was a movement. A movement to bring our DA’s office in line with our modern values—to bring justice with integrity. This is just the beginning. I am so honored to be on this journey with all of you.
With deep gratitude,
Anna

Local politics matters! I know who I’m voting for and why. Do you? 🗳🇺🇸 If you’d like a voter guide for our local California races, message me. And do your homework online for this district and elsewhere! I smiled as I responded to a robo-text from a candidate I will not be voting for in the midterms… and sent this message off into the ethers today.
I am proudly voting for Anna Pletcher for District Attorney in Tuesday's election. She's the DA I want for Marin County — one with the integrity and management experience to secure justice for victims and families, defend our environment, stand up for our immigrant community, and tackle homelessness.
I attended the Marin County Farmers Market, this morning. I was there with my parents and my daughter and we got to babysit this sweet dog!
Thanks to Leigh Ann Townsend, who joined us later in the day!
