Background
As the top law enforcement official in Genesee County, David Leyton has been on the front lines fighting crime and seeking justice for the nearly half-a-million residents of Flint and Genesee County.

He has been in the courtroom and overseen the prosecution of murderers and rapists, drug dealers and gang members, those who would prey on the elderly and the young and those who would steal millions through white collar crimes.

It is from that raw vantage point that Prosecutor Leyton has seen firsthand the devastating effects of crime on individual citizens and entire neighborhoods and communities. It is from that experience that he wants to put public safety first as Michigan’s next Attorney General.

David and his wife, Therese, have been marries for 29 years and have 4 children.

Statement
"As Michigan’s next Attorney General, I will work hard each and every day to make public safety a top priority for our great State."
