David Leyton was first elected Genesee County Prosecutor in 2004. David has dedicated his life, career, and the last 20 years as prosecutor to ensuring a safe and equitable judicial system in Flint and Genesee County. Our community has counted on Prosecutor Leyton to take the most dangerous and violent offenders off our streets, get justice for our youngest and most vulnerable victims, and proactively ensuring the justice system gets non-violent offenders the help they need via substance abuse treatment, counseling, and educational services.
 
David continues to give back to his community in his personal life. In addition to his involvement with countless boards and charities, you can find David on the football field as a Michigan High School Athletic Association official, in the stands of high school basketball games supporting our youth, or assisting the underserved at area food banks and charitable services.
 
David and his wife, Therese, a health educator and columnist, reside in Flint Township. They have four children: Aimee, Andrew, Erica, and Adam. They also have two granddaughters and a grandson.
