Washington County Assistant District Attorney Kristin Clingerman

Clingerman chose the steps of the Washington County Courthouse to make her announcement because she believes important decisions that affect the people of Washington County have been made in the historic landmark. “For more than 25 years, I have been in the trenches, fighting for equal protection for all under law for you, your families, and your neighbors,” Clingerman told dozens of supporters.

Clingerman currently is the lead prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Specialized Victims Investigative & Prosecution Unit. In 1997, it was Clingerman who developed and piloted this office whose sole mission remains to aggressively and successfully investigate and prosecute crimes of sexual assault and domestic violence. Prior to that, Clingerman was a first assistant Public Defender and had various positions in private practice. “My lengthy and unique 25 plus year legal career as a trial attorney and prosecutor provides me with exactly the type of experience and working knowledge necessary for a judge in the Court of Common Please,” she said.

In making her announcement, Clingerman said her experience has enabled her to see residents at their best and, unfortunately, at their most heinous. While fair and just in presenting the facts of a case, Clingerman said she cares most about the victims of crimes and works diligently to protect the rights of the innocent. “A judge must be fair,” Clingerman said. “He or she must be compassionate and must afford everyone equal protection under the law while keeping our communities, especially our children and seniors, safe. That is the kind of Judge I will be.”

Clingerman, who grew up in the mid-Mon Valley, obtained her undergraduate degree from Washington & Jefferson College and her law degree from Duquesne University. She is married to Robin Stang and the couple has a 15-year-old son, Colton. In addition to the PA District Attorney’s Association and the Washington County Bar Association, Clingerman participates in a number of other local organizations. She is also a member of the Church of the Covenant in Washington, PA.
