Brett Mize - District Attorney for Osage and Pawnee Counties On The Issues

Keeping our communities safe is my top priority. I have prosecuted violent crime, child predators, gang activity, and drug dealers for over a decade. As District Attorney, I will continue to hold criminals accountable and protect our communities.

Victims deserve to be heard, supported, and protected. I have personally handled every child sexual abuse case in Osage County for the past 5 years, trying over 10 of these cases to verdict. I will always put victims first and fight relentlessly for justice.

I am committed to upholding the rule of law and respecting the rights guaranteed by our Constitution. Every decision I make in this office will be guided by fairness, integrity, and a strong ethical foundation.

When a crime is committed, society is not to blame — the individual who commits the crime is responsible. A system that fails to recognize personal accountability is not compatible with our free society.

Accountability matters. I support programs that give those who take responsibility for their actions a chance to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society. From Drug Court to Mental Health Court, I work to balance justice with rehabilitation — always ensuring that public safety is protected.

Strong communities prevent crime before it happens. As District Attorney, I will continue to support existing programs and develop new initiatives that educate, mentor, and empower our children and families.

Property owners, landowners, and business owners deserve protection. I will prioritize prosecuting theft, burglary, and property crimes, ensuring that those who harm our communities are held accountable and that victims have the opportunity for restitution.

Public trust is essential. My office will operate with professionalism, integrity, and ethical leadership. With a commitment to fairness, I will maintain the community’s confidence in the justice system. can write about this issue.

I work closely with local police and sheriff’s offices to ensure effective investigations and prosecutions. As District Attorney, I will provide guidance, training, and strong collaboration to keep our officers safe and our communities secure.

Justice doesn’t have an expiration date. I am committed to reviewing unsolved cases and pursuing accountability for crimes from the past, ensuring victims and their families see closure and that no case is forgotten.
