San Francisco voters have recalled District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a result that could spell trouble for progressive prosecutors across the country.
Boudin was elected in 2019 as a "progressive prosecutor," when he vowed to reduce incarcerations and refine law enforcement practices in San Francisco.As district attorney, he filed San Francisco’s first homicide charges against a police for an on-duty shooting and pursued efforts to send nonviolent drug offenders to treatment centers rather than jail, per the Journal.None of us want to live in a city that has untreated mental illness or open air drug markets.
"But I will never be able to do it alone. No district attorney will be able to do it alone," he said. "We have a system that to function well requires every agency, every elected official to be held accountable." Boudin’s defeat may be "a sign that even in California, it can be taken too far," Steve Wagstaffe, a district attorney in San Mateo County, told the Journal.
