With over 28,000 votes—29% of the total—she outpaced rivals in a race seen as a referendum on past leadership, especially following the controversial Karen Read case and the tragic death of Sandra Birchmore. Her personal experience with sexual assault and domestic violence cases drove her campaign, resonating deeply with voters who demanded accountability. Former prosecutor Adam Deitch conceded early, praising her vision for fairness. Perkins now plans to audit past cases, investigate key incidents publicly, and review the Stoughton youth program linked to Birchmore’s death. With no Republican opponent, she’s expected to easily defeat independent Joseph M. Pagliarulo in November, ushering in sweeping changes to the DA’s office.
