David Waterman, a fifth-generation Iowa lawyer, has been appointed as the top federal prosecutor for southern Iowa, a role hes held since 2021. Hes the first Senate-confirmed U.S. attorney there since 2021, with a unique background as he was nominated by both President Biden and President Trump. His office, which ranks second nationally for charging fatal drug overdoses, has seen a significant increase in criminal cases, with a focus on drugs, violent crimes, child pornography, fraud, and civil rights cases, including human trafficking. Watermans appointment has led to a decrease in crime rates in communities like Davenport and Des Moines. He plans to build an elite team of prosecutors, strengthen ties with local law enforcement, and maintain consistent charging. His nonpartisan approach to the job has been praised, and his office is ready to handle any surge in cases, such as immigration enforcement.
