ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 3
“It is a true honor to serve the people of Salt Lake County as your District Attorney.

I would be grateful to earn your support.”
ABOUT SIM
Sim Gill is a first-generation immigrant who proudly serves as your Salt Lake County District Attorney. He, like so many others, came to this country believing in the promise that in America, justice isn’t reserved for the powerful; it belongs to everyone.
He grew up in Kearns, in a neighborhood of working families who often struggled to make ends meet. Coming from a community full of hardworking people who often didn’t have a seat at the table, Sim has dedicated his career to fighting for a justice system that doesn’t leave anyone behind and that addresses the root causes of issues like addiction, domestic violence, and mental health.
Sim made history as the first Indian-born District Attorney elected in the United States. As DA, Sim has always believed that it is possible to reform the criminal justice system without compromising public safety. That’s why he’s led the way on innovative programs that recognize the reality of crime and work towards real justice for victims, offenders, and communities; programs like Veterans Court and Mental Health Court, which have helped thousands of people get treatment instead of incarceration, and Camp Hope, which supports kids who have been through severe trauma.
Sim has always been committed to showing up, leading, listening, and applying the law fairly, even if it’s unpopular or difficult. The job of District Attorney isn’t about politics; it’s about service, and he is running for re-election to continue showing up, caring, and fighting for you.
“My family came to this country believing in the ideals of justice, fairness, equality, and truth. These ideals guide me every day as your District Attorney.”
