Ousted San Francisco District Attorney ChesaBoudin shoots down comeback bid
Boudin, who had been successfully recalled from office in June, previously left the door open to running in the special election this fall or in the contest next year for district attorney. But after consulting family and friends, he has decided that his family is more important."My son is on the verge of taking his first step and speaking his first word. My wife’s research on Multiple Sclerosis at UCSF deserves the same support she has offered my work.
My son is on the verge of taking his first step and speaking his first word. My wife’s research on Multiple Sclerosis at UCSF deserves the same support she has offered my work. My elderly father just came home from prison after more than 40 years."I know this news will come as a disappointment to many who are dedicated to reform. I assure you I remain deeply committed to justice and to the people of San Francisco," he said.
Throughout his tenure, Boudin faced heavy criticism for being soft on crime, including from his former employee Brooke Jenkins who replaced him as San Francisco district attorney, having been appointed by Mayor London Breed. Jenkins had faulted Boudin for rising crime in the city. San Francisco is regarded as one of the most dangerous cities in America, and it is considered safer than about 4% of other cities in the United States.
Boudin has long been a staunch advocate of criminal justice reform. He has defended his record, countering that critics often exaggerated claims that his office was dragging its feet on combating crime. "We made a lot of progress in a short period of time," Boudin tweeted."I am gravely concerned by what I’ve seen from the current, appointed District Attorney. We have heard no assurances that the successful programs we’ve implemented will continue, and indeed, we see worrying signs every day as progress is rolled back.
