(BOSTON, December 6, 2018) - Suffolk County District Attorney-elect Rachael Rollins is pleased to announce the formation of her transition team, a collection of retired judges and law enforcement officials, returning citizens, former prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, clergy members, academics, and select members of the local community who, by their lived experiences, reflect the vast and varied means by which a prosecutor’s office engages with the community it serves.
The team’s work will be guided by Rollins’ transition co-chairs, Martin Murphy of Foley Hoag and Natashia Tidwell of Hogan Lovells, and a six-member steering committee comprised of talented and experienced criminal defense attorneys, former prosecutors, and recognized experts in community engagement.

Suffolk County District Attorney-Elect Rachael Rollins names transition chairs
Tidwell, Murphy bring extensive experience as prosecutors and defense attorneys at federal, state level
BOSTON – Suffolk County District Attorney-elect Rachael Rollins has named two chairs to lead her transition team.
Rollins was overwhelmingly elected as the next Suffolk County District Attorney last week, garnering more than 80% of the vote. Today, she named Natashia Tidwell and Martin F. Murphy to lead her transition as she builds her team and lays the groundwork to take office in January. Tidwell and Murphy are experienced criminal prosecutors and defense attorneys who have served at the state and federal levels.
Tidwell is a former police lieutenant who went on to serve as a federal prosecutor in both the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office here in Boston. She is currently in private practice at Hogan Lovells in Boston. Murphy served as the First Assistant District Attorney in the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office and as a federal prosecutor, and currently serves as a trial lawyer at the Boston law firm Foley Hoag. Murphy is also Vice President of the Boston Bar Association and a member of the Board of Directors for the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts.
“The voters sent a clear message that the status quo in our criminal justice system is not good enough and it is time for a change,” Rollins said. “That work starts today. Natashia and Marty bring a diverse set of experiences to these leadership roles, and I’m so thankful that they have agreed to help us build a high-quality, dedicated team that will reflect the communities we serve. Together we are going to build a smarter, more compassionate criminal justice system for everyone.”
Rollins’ election reflects a widespread demand for change in a criminal justice system that for too long has not worked fairly for everyone. Rollins has promised to bring new solutions to the office that will break down wealth and racial disparities, keep communities safe and treat all people with dignity and respect.
As Suffolk County District Attorney she will keep communities safe and ensure justice for victims. Rollins is committed to improving our criminal justice system through best-practices and data-driven programs. That includes focusing on treatment, not prosecution, for those swept up in the justice system for minor crimes. This will also allow prosecutors to focus more resources on the serious crimes that truly undermine public safety, like domestic violence, sexual assault, gun violence, and homicides. Rollins is looking forward to working with community partners, law enforcement, and the residents of Suffolk County to transform the District Attorney’s office.
Natashia Tidwell is an attorney in the Investigations, White Collar, and Fraud practice group of Hogan Lovells US LLP’s Boston office. She began her legal career as a federal prosecutor in both the Department of Justice (DOJ) Public Integrity Section and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Natashia handled a wide variety of investigations, enforcement proceedings, and trials related to conspiracy, extortion, narcotics, and organized crime. At DOJ, she prosecuted and supervised investigations of serious misconduct by public officials throughout the United States and its territories. Natashia’s interest in criminal justice took root during her tenure as a police officer in Cambridge. While there, she rose through the ranks to become the first female lieutenant in the department's history. Currently, she applies her specialized knowledge of policing and court practices to her work as the Lead Monitor in Ferguson, Missouri where she oversees implementation of a federal consent decree following a DOJ investigation of unconstitutional police and municipal court practices.
Martin F. Murphy is trial lawyer at Foley Hoag LLP, where he represents, individuals, companies, universities, and other institutions in civil and criminal proceedings. Marty has served as the First Assistant District Attorney of Middlesex County, where he prosecuted homicide, domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, civil rights and financial crimes cases, as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, and as a State Ethics Commissioner. He is the Vice-President of the Boston Bar Association, a member of the Board of Regents of the American College of Trial Lawyers, and a member of the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. Marty lives in South Boston.

Police unions endorse Greg Henning for Suffolk District Attorney
BPPA, FOP Join First Responders Supporting Henning in Race to Replace Outgoing Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley
BOSTON – Today, candidate for Suffolk County District Attorney Greg Henning received the endorsement of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association (BPPA), which represents patrol officers in the Boston Police Department. Henning also today received the endorsement of the Massachusetts Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which represents police officers throughout the state.
The police unions join the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts, Boston Firefighters Local 718, Revere Fire Fighters Local 926, the Latino Law Enforcement Group of Boston, former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, and outgoing Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley as first responders and public safety leaders supporting Henning in the race for Suffolk County District Attorney.
“Greg Henning is an experienced and trusted prosecutor, leader and mentor in his community. As an Assistant District Attorney, he’s handled everything from quality-of-life misdemeanors to shootings and other violent crimes throughout Suffolk County, and he’s performed the job with dedication and compassion,” said Michael Leary, Vice President of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association (BPPA). “Greg has also been an active participant in his community as a teacher and mentor for young people. It gives me great pleasure to announce the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association endorsement of Greg Henning.”
“Public safety officers in Boston and throughout Suffolk County support Greg because he’s spent his career keeping Boston safe, from his work in the courtroom removing dangerous guns from our neighborhoods to his work as a teacher and mentor helping young people keep their lives on track,” said Todd Bramwell, President of the Massachusetts Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). “Greg Henning has the experience and vision to combat gun violence, access treatment for people who are struggling with addiction, and help make Suffolk County a place where every young person gets the support they need to succeed.”
“I am thankful to have the support of the BPPA and the Massachusetts FOP in this campaign as we work to keep our neighborhoods safe from gun violence, combat the opioid epidemic, and better engage every community in Suffolk County,” said Greg Henning. “Boston Police patrol officers are national leaders in effective community policing, and they work hard every day to keep our city safe. Our first responders across the county are dedicated public servants, and I’m glad to have their support for my vision of a safe and vibrant Suffolk County.”
Greg Henning is running for Suffolk County District Attorney to keep our neighborhoods safe from gun violence, devote resources to fighting the opioid epidemic, and create mentoring programs to ensure that young people get a second chance. During this campaign, he’s released a plan to fully staff a countywide Unsolved Shootings Unit that would investigate nonfatal shootings and remove more guns from our streets; a plan to expand access to drug treatment and fight the opioid epidemic; and a plan to create a mentorship program called Law Enforcement Early Diversion, or LEED, which would pair law enforcement professionals, such as Assistant District Attorneys and police officers, with young people throughout Suffolk County.

Suffolk DA Candidate Greg Henning Releases TV Ad — “Dedicated”
Highlights Henning’s Plans to Combat Gun Violence, Fight the Opioid Epidemic, and Create Mentoring Program
BOSTON – Candidate for Suffolk County District Attorney Greg Henning today released a television ad focused on his agenda to keep Suffolk County safe from gun violence, combat the opioid epidemic, and ensure that young people get a second chance. The ad, which will run on cable TV channels between now and the September 4th primary election, is the first television ad in the open race to replace outgoing Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley.
The ad, titled “Dedicated,” begins with footage of John Henning, Greg’s father and a longtime news reporter and anchor for several Boston TV stations. After Greg talks about the lessons his father taught him about “honesty, fairness, compassion, and justice,” the ad features testimonials from one of Greg’s colleagues and a former student of his.
“Greg has really been a role model for me at the DA’s office, particularly with his commitment to protecting victims of crime,” said Amy Martin of Charlestown, an Assistant District Attorney in the Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Unit in the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, where Greg has spent ten years as an Assistant District Attorney. “Greg has the experience necessary to keep Suffolk County safe, and the compassion to know when a young person who made a mistake just needs help getting their life back on track.”
“Since I met Greg, he has always looked out for me. He plays a major factor in what I want to do in my life,” said Manny Valmir of Hyde Park, a former student of Greg’s from Boston Preparatory Public Charter School, where Greg taught eighth grade English and twelfth grade constitutional law. “In the seven years I’ve known Greg, he’s been an incredible mentor to me, and I know he’ll help so many other young people as our DA.”
The ad then describes Greg’s agenda: to keep our neighborhoods safe from gun violence, devote resources to fighting the opioid epidemic, and create mentoring programs to ensure that young people get a second chance. During this campaign, he’s released a plan to fully staff a countywide Unsolved Shootings Unit that would investigate nonfatal shootings and remove more guns from our streets; and a plan to create a mentorship program called Law Enforcement Early Diversion, or LEED, which would pair law enforcement professionals, such as Assistant District Attorneys and police officers, with young people throughout Suffolk County.
“Voters in every community are supporting our campaign to keep Suffolk County safe from gun violence, combat the opioid epidemic, and better engage every community in Boston, Revere, Chelsea, and Winthrop,” said Henning. “I’m excited to share my vision of a safe and vibrant Suffolk County with voters in this ad.”
The Democratic Primary for the open race to replace outgoing Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley is on Tuesday, September 4, and the General Election is on Tuesday, November 6.

“Voters in every community are supporting our campaign to keep Suffolk County safe from gun violence, combat the opioid epidemic, and better engage every community in Boston, Revere, Chelsea, and Winthrop,” said Henning. “I’m excited to share my vision of a safe and vibrant Suffolk County with voters in this ad.”
The Democratic Primary for the open race to replace outgoing Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley is on Tuesday, September 4, and the General Election is on Tuesday, November 6.
