Moriarty is vowing to pursue and promote the policies she's championed, including with young adult offenders, for the remainder of her term.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced this week she won't run for reelection, but told WCCO she's confident she would win if she was on the ballot.

Moriarty plans to focus the final year and a half of her term with an enhanced focus on domestic violence cases.

Mary Moriarty says she will not seek another term after winning in a landslide in 2022 campaigning as a reform candidate.

Within hours of Mary Moriarty’s announcement that she would not seek a second term as Hennepin County Attorney, the wheels were already spinning in the Twin Cities legal and political communities over who would take her place.
