In June, San Francisco recalled District Attorney Chesa Boudin. A progressive prosecutor, Boudin promised reform but shouldered the blame for rising crime rates and a perceived lack of attentiveness to the job.
Last month, Mayor London Breed appointed Brooke Jenkins as Boudin's replacement. Jenkins served as an assistant D.A. for seven years before resigning in 2021 over "mounting dissatisfaction with the direction of the office." She later publicly advocated Boudin's recall.
