Harold Pryor served as an Assistant State Attorney with the Office of the State Attorney in and for the 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida in Broward County, prosecuting serious criminal offenses in the Felony Trial Unit. He developed a reputation for being a tough, fair, and skilled trial lawyer. Harold was often lauded for his compassion for victims and his constant quest for truth and fairness through every stage of the prosecutorial process. Pryor strongly believes that as a prosecutor, securing guilty verdicts should never be a prosecutor’s primary goal; but rather the pursuit of truth and justice throughout the process should be paramount. In August 2020, Pryor won the Democratic Primary for State Attorney.
