I am Jim Barakat, and I am proud to call Braintree, MA my home. Here in Norfolk County, my wife and I are raising our two beautiful young daughters, and every day I am reminded of the values that unite us as a community: fairness, integrity, and hope for a better future. For over a decade, I have served as a public defense attorney, standing beside families, the marginalized, and the accused across Massachusetts. This work has been my calling, and it has given me a unique perspective on the justice system—a perspective that is sorely needed among the career prosecutors and politicians who typically dominate our public offices.
I am running for office because I believe in a justice system that truly serves the people—a system where police accountability is a priority, where we work to reduce the prison population, and where we invest in community supports that lift us all. Too often, justice is overshadowed by politics, but I am committed to bringing integrity and transparency back to our criminal investigations. It's time for a change, and together, we can make it happen.
In this race, I stand as an outlier, but I also stand with you—with every family, every individual who has ever felt overlooked or underserved. I know that by working together, we can create a safer, more equitable Norfolk County. Let's build a future where our children can grow up in a community that values justice and compassion above all else.
I am not just asking for your vote; I am asking for your partnership in this journey towards meaningful change. Together, we can transform our hopes into action and create a justice system that reflects the best of who we are. Join me in this fight for a brighter tomorrow!
