Sacramento voters chose the retiring DA&#8217;s pick over a progressive opponent. &#8220;Likewise, progressive challengers in deep blue counties like Yolo and Santa Clara were soundly defeated, as was progressive Pete Hardin who lost decisively in conservative-leaning Orange County,&#8221; Berg writes. Okay, put an asterisk on Santa Clara. The DA of Silicon Valley is somewhere in the middle. He is more of a traditional prosecutor than challenger Deputy Public Defender Sajid Khan, who finished third, but less of one than former DDA Daniel Chung, who finished second.<\/p>\n<p>Only Contra Costa County was clearly contra to the trend.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In fact, of the four leaders of this \u201cProgressive Alliance,\u201d only Alameda DA Diana Becton was re-elected \u2013 and that was after running on a platform of cracking down on gangs, rather than her progressive agenda of ending enforcement of drug laws and diverting funds from enforcement to community outreach. If the recall of Gasc\u00f3n succeeds in Los Angeles, the group will have lost 75% of its leadership.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>California, with its nonpartisan DA elections, is recovering from Woke Prosecutor Disease.
