Recent developments on the West Coast have seen a growing backlash against district attorneys perceived as being 'soft on crime.' Cities like San Francisco, Portland, and Los Angeles have witnessed discontent among voters over what is described as a 'woke agenda' in law enforcement.
One notable instance is the ousting of far-left DA Mike Schmidt in Oregon by one of his own deputies, who pledged a return to what was termed as 'sanity.' In addition, other district attorneys facing pushback include San Francisco DA Kessa Boudin, who was voted out in a 2022 recall, and George Cascone in LA, who has faced two recalls and is up for reelection later this year. Alameda County DA Pamela Price is also facing a recall in the near future.
