LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. - Colorado City is just one of the issues the Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith would like to address as he runs for a full term. Smith talked about this at the recent Lake Havasu City Republican Men's Group meeting. "Generally speaking, I want to concentrate on the prosecution side and stay out of the politics as much as possible, as much as I can. Try to aggressively recruit and hire the best prosecutors. I am going to stay on that end; I am still doing trials, starting my fifth of the year on June 1st. And I just want to see us as a very strong prosecution-oriented office."

Smith took over the position earlier this year when Bill Ekstrom retired.

Smith also talked about victim rights, his campaign for election and future work in Colorado City.

"One of the public defenders said he was going to run, but he is not. So right now it doesn't look like anybody is running against me. As far as the future of the office, we want to make some inroads up there. We want to start being able to get more cases from out of there. We want to increase the awareness of what is going on up there and we want to get into the schools and do education up there."
