2026 June 18
Alachua Assistant District Attorney Darla Whistler, met with some fifteen Cedar Keans at City Hal on Monday, June 15 at 5 pm.
Consummately professional, gracious, personable, and open, Whistler managed a multitude of questions, ranging from her experiences at Chiefland High to the hierarchy of judges in the State of Florida, with humor, clarity, and candidness.
Whistler was recruited to Alachua County after fifteen years serving as a Levy County prosecutor. In Alachua, she investigates and prosecutes crimes against women and children. She now serves as Vice-Chair of the Florida Bar Grievance Committee. Whistler
wishes to return to Levy County. A Chiefland High School, University of Florida, and Levin School of Law graduate, now lives in Chiefland with her husband, Lt. Scott Tummond of the Levy County Sheriff’s Office.
Whistler’s motto is “From Levy, For Levy.” Cedar Key News suggests you visit her website for further information. Readers will find Whistler on the August 18 Primary Ballot where all Levy County residents may vote.
