BROCKTON — Timothy J. Cruz, the incumbent and newly re-elected Plymouth County district attorney, has been voted in as president of the Massachusetts District Attorney’s Association (MDAA), per a written statement from the district attorney's office.

At their monthly meeting Tuesday, members of the MDAA "unanimously voted in Cruz as president and Hampden County District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni as vice president," the written statement said.

"I look forward to continuing to work together to share ideas, implement best practices, and protect public safety throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," Cruz said.

The association supports the 11 elected district attorneys across the state and their staff, including approximately 785 prosecutors and 260 victim-witness advocates.
