Alameda County DA Pamela Price Recalled Amid Progressive Setbacks

Alameda County voters have recalled District Attorney Pamela Price, marking a setback for progressive crime policies in California. Price, who was elected on a platform of reducing sentencing and prosecuting more police officers, is the second Bay Area prosecutor ousted in recent years, following San Francisco's Chesa Boudin. Supporters of the recall, including local officials and the Alameda County Prosecutors Association, argued that Price's policies were too lenient. Opponents, however, claimed the recall was politically motivated. The Alameda Board of Supervisors will appoint a replacement until the next election in 2026.
