On this edition of Your Call, we'll discuss San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin who was recalled by 60 percent of (74,335) voters. Only 25.8 percent of registered voters returned their ballots (127,926 out of 495,498 registered voters). Mayor London Breed will choose Boudin's replacement.
Recall supporters, backed by $7.2 million in contributions, said, "Chesa Boudin is failing us. We need real public safety and accountability." After the results came in last night, Boudin said, "People are angry, they’re frustrated, and I want to be very clear about what happened tonight. The right-wing billionaires outspent us three to one. They exploited an environment in which people are appropriately upset and they created an electoral environment in which we were literally shadow boxing."
What does this outcome mean for the future of criminal justice reform?
