Reading Observer Covers David’s Drugged-Driving Reform Plan
The Reading Observer reports on David’s plan to give police and prosecutors better tools against drug-impaired driving.

The Reading Observer reports on David’s call for action against drug-impaired driving and the urgent need for better investigative and legal tools.
The article cites Middlesex County data showing that prosecutors won just two of 43 drugged-driving trials between 2020 and 2024. David said that result shows law enforcement and prosecutors are not being given “the tools they need to succeed.”
David’s proposal brings together law enforcement, legislators, public-safety advocates, and prosecutors to advance evidence-based reforms that improve accountability while protecting constitutional rights.
He put the responsibility plainly: “Being District Attorney isn’t about sitting by passively and accepting failure.” It is about identifying problems, pursuing solutions, and keeping the public safe.
