Hall-Dawson DA Lee Darragh resigns after more than 20 years

Darragh’s resignation took effect Nov. 5, after he won reelection unopposed; he described it as a difficult family decision, while reports cite medical leave. Jennifer Bagwell is acting DA, has worked in the circuit since 1996, and intends to run for the seat. The transition and path to the 2028 election remain to be clarified.
