DISTRICT ATTORNEY ANNOUNCES STAFF CHANGES
The Clatsop County District Attorney's Office is welcoming two new employees, saying good-bye to a long-time staff member and announcing the promotion of two trial prosecutors.
Sheryl Holcom, who worked as a trial assistant for more than five years, has moved over to the Clatsop County Clerk and Elections Department. Taking her place will be John Wistuber, who previously worked for the Maricopa County prosecutor's office in Phoenix, Arizona. Also joining the staff as a trial assistant is Jennifer Houser, who has worked for several years as a part-time administrative assistant.
Both Wistuber and Houser will be responsible for managing a share of the more than 1,000 criminal cases handled each ear by the District Attorney's Office. District Attorney Josh Marquis said that the office had received a large number of applicants and we were able to get the very best to add to an outstanding staff.
Gretchen Ladd, a Deputy District Attorney who joined the office last October from a similar post in Newport, has been promoted to Senior Deputy District Attorney. Ladd has tried and secured convictions of a number of serious violent felonies in the last year. Also promoted to Deputy District Attorney 2 is Scott McCracken, who will continue to handle a wide variety of both misdemeanor and felony cases.
