Pamela Price, the district attorney in Oakland, California, who was elected with the support of George Soros, will face a recall vote in November.
Crime has gotten so out of hand in Oakland that several businesses, like In and Out Burger, have fled the city in recent months.
Price is a proponent of the “social justice” approach to law enforcement, which has caused massive crime problems in several American cities.
The Oaklandside reports:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will be recused in November
Oakland voters, mark your calendars. The question of whether Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will be allowed to serve the remainder of her term will be decided on November 5, 2024.
The county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to consolidate the recall with the general election, which will include local, state and federal elections and ballot measures. Supervisors Lena Tam and David Haubert attended part of the meeting but were excused before the vote.
Supporters of the recall wanted the county to hold a special election this summer that would deal solely with the recall question. County staff have said this would cost about $15 to $20 million, taking into account expenses for hundreds of election workers, printing ballots and election materials, postage and setting up voting centers. By comparison, the cost of adding the recall question to the November general election will be $4 million…
“We need justice for our babies, and basically nothing will change if Pamela Price is still in power,” said Brenda Angulo, whose 15-year-old son Erick Portillo was killed in Hayward last year. “I don't understand why this is an economic problem.”
Price vows to fight the recall.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price goes on the offensive, vowing to defeat the recall
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price went on the offensive Wednesday, vowing to prevail against a well-heeled recall effort that will be decided during a crowded presidential election in November…
Backed by more than a dozen supporters holding signs proclaiming “Protect the Win,” Price framed the recall campaign as an attempt to “overturn” the results of the 2022 election, in which she became the first Black woman to serve as the highest-ranking Alameda County prosecutor served. .
If the people of Oakland want things to change, they need to vote this woman out of office, and they can.
San Francisco got rid of Soros-backed prosecutor Chesa Boudin.
