Oakland District Attorney Facing Recall

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters announced last week that the recall effort against District Attorney Pamela Price had turned in enough signatures to force a vote. Natalie Hanson of Courthouse News Service reports that that campaign had turned in over 123,000 signatures to meet the 73,000 requirement to hold a special election. Price was elected in 2022 with major support from progressive billionaire George Soros, who has contributed millions over the past several election cycles, to elect racist, pro-criminal activists to district attorneys offices across the country.  Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, Chicago’s Kim Fox, Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner, San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin and Los Angeles DA George Gascon were all elected with unprecedented support from Soros front groups. Price, the first black female district attorney in county history has presided over a major increase in crime in Oakland as she has refused to prosecute black arrestees and undercharged some of the city’s most violent offenders.

Price campaigned on the promise of ending claimed systemic racism in the criminal justice system, ignoring the fact that most of the crime in Oakland was being committed by blacks, often victimizing other blacks.  Among the leaders of the recall campaign were the Oakland chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Pastor of Oakland’s largest black Baptist church. The effort to remove Price follows the successful 2022 recall of progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin by 60% of the city’s voters. LA District Attorney George Gascon is facing former Federal Prosecutor Nathan Hochman in a November runoff election. Just as with Boudin and Price, the campaign against Gascon is a grass roots effort focused on his soft-on-crime policies.
