HYANNIS – Democrat Attorney Rob Galibois has come out on top in the race for Cape and Islands District Attorney, defeating Republican opponent and current Assistant DA Dan Higgins.
Among his first priorities include the appointment of the office’s first woman Assistant District Attorney, a role that will go to Jessica Elumba.
They will both be sworn in on January 4.
He also highlighted his goal of boosting treatment and rehabilitation—focuses he said he shares with Barnstable County Sheriff-elect Donna Buckley and the next Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey.
“I am excited to be able to work with our state senators and our new governor in the effort to launch a mental health session, and I am enjoying a level of confidence that it will happen,” Galibois said.
