Chesa Boudin, SF's D.A., to face recall on June 7 election

The head of San Francisco's Department of Elections announced Tuesday that the potential recall of District Attorney Chesa Boudin will go before voters in a June 7 election after the latest petition has succeeded. KTVU's Jana Katsuyama spoke with the former assistant DA who is behind the recall effort. She says the DA is too lenient on crime. Boudin's supporters say the recall is a Republican- backed effort to oust the criminal justice reformer.

Get rid the DA attorneys vote them out of Office Immediately

[aeromtb]

they blame republicans but there are none in SF.

[davenaylor]

Hasn't he fulfilled most of his campaign promises? This is what he said he was going to do. This is what they voted for.

Boudin needs to go! The whole DA office staff all those lawyers need to be fired.

Everything you see happening in San Francisco all the smash-and-grab are under this district attorney people come here from other cities because there's no consequences this is the best he can do time to go

[imyrs]

Hopefully the recall is successful. SF is getting worse with not much hope in sight.

Damn June 7th??? A lot of damage can be caused between now and then.

The status quo is NOT TO CONVICT CRIMINALS.
"Let's GO Joe Brandon!"

The recall should happen much sooner. San Francisco is in the midst of a crime spree. San Francisco is now the city that used to know how. I lived in San Francisco in the 1970s and 80s, and I am glad that I and my late partner moved to Alameda County.

First they call you crazy. Then they recall you.

If we learned anything from the Newsom recall is nothing is going to change.

[PikachuTDP]

[WhyHandleYouTube]

Please Mr. Boudin is a very nice man. Please allow him to keep us safe and well in San Francisco!








Signed,

Thugs of San Francisco

Mark Leno seems like the best argument as for why SFans SHOULD recall him

[throne]

This guy doesn't like to get his hands dirty, not the person you want as your DA.

[williamhenry]

Yall knew what he was when yall elected him. Easier to not elect people with severe MH issues.

[veritas]

Has crimes been up since he's in the office?. Maybe this is why he's been recalled.

[richardque]

[raulmacias]
