Serving With a Purpose: Making History
On November 8, 2016, Lynneice O. Washington made history as the first Black woman elected District Attorney in the State of Alabama and in Jefferson County.
For DA Washington, there was never another career path imaginable — she always knew she wanted to be a lawyer. Her election was not only a personal milestone and historical feat, but a moment of progress and representation for the community she serves.
“I feel honored that the people in the Bessemer Cutoff had enough confidence in me to be the chief law enforcement officer in the cutoff,” Washington said.
Nine years later, her commitment remains the same: to serve with integrity, promote public safety, and leave a lasting footprint of positive change in Jefferson County.
