Sam Stern, a former federal and local prosecutor, is running for Palm Beach State Attorney.
He’s the first Republican to enter the race to succeed Democrat Dave Aronberg.
Four Democrats have filed: Alexcia Cox, Gregg Lerman, Rolando Silva and Craig Williams.
Stern comes from a family of prosecutors and public servants. His father was a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney. His grandfather was bureau chief in the New York Attorney General’s Office.
After college, Stern worked as a prosecutor in New Jersey and more recently in Palm Beach County under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
He now works in private practice.
