Chief Hall said about Seaman, “All the citizens of Niagara County can be assured that his integrity, competence, honesty and knowledge of the office, make him the best choice for Niagara County District Attorney.”

With regard to the support he is receiving from law enforcement Brian Seaman said, “I have great respect for the work of our law enforcement officials. I believe their support of me is a reflection of the work I did in my years as a prosecutor. Law enforcement officers want a DA who will work as hard as they do to bring justice for crime victims. That is exactly what I will do if elected.”
