"Regna will bring honor".
Letter to Editor from Sunday, January 27, 2008

 

To the Editor:

A personal tragedy struck my family when my sister, a single mom, was killed through an act of domestic violence. My then friend, Dan Regna, supported my decision to adopt my 18-month-old nephew. Later Regna and I dated, married, and he became my son’s father and a wonderful role model.

Our son, Daniel, hopes to go to West Point and join the Army, just like his dad.

Regna understands the seriousness of domestic violence. If elected state’s attorney, he will be compassionate toward domestic violence victims and tough on domestic batterers.

Regna will bring honor to the position of state’s attorney. It is my honor to be his wife.
