Soares, a reform fighter who won’t back down when criticized

Interesting article by Nathan Riley in the Gay City News about upstate New York District Attorney David Soares, who has made quite a bit of news lately.
The important point in this article is noting that here is a drug policy reform politician who stuck to his guns, despite the usual sound-bite attacks, and seems to have succeeded. It’s a lesson for other politicians who believe in drug policy reform, Democrat or Republican — there’s no need to run from the fight.
