""I am so grateful to my amazing campaign team, my campaign manager and our communications director who worked tirelessly to make sure voters understood what was really and truthfully at stake in this race," Price said."
Some of us did understand what was at stake. Someone who wants to go easy on the criminals ("diversion" and "restorative justice" programs) while getting tough on the court system/law enforcement. Sorry, but I don't feel any safer as a result of this. When results are not as expected and things start going wrong, expect Price to complain that any criticism of her soft on crime policies are "racially motivated".

Price is a "catch and release" and "anti-cop" DA!

The losses here are simply the victims of crime.
Maybe I'm the one that's losing it. I keep hearing how concerned everyone is about crime in the Bay Area, but we elected a DA who has been clear that she is against incarceration and any type of accountability.
The good news is we should be able to save money in the public defender's office. With her as DA, we may not need a public defender's office.

Alameda County elected a District Attorney who ran on a platform that has failed before. She sold it to the voters, but it will be more difficult getting all the other departments on board, like the Oakland Police Department. Not only is she learning a new position of government, which I'm sure will be difficult, she will be trying to implement changes that will require her entire department to be on board, employees that she has never worked with before. I can only hope that she is successful in making Alameda County a safer place to reside.
