A group of criminal justice reform advocates has created a committee to beat back a well-heeled effort to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, setting the stage for a financial showdown over one of the nation’s foremost progressive prosecutors.
The committee, San Franciscans Against the Recall of Chesa Boudin, has already won the backing of several high-ranking city officials, including current and former supervisors, BART board directors and various leaders of civil-rights organizations. The committee was created by Real Justice PAC, a national organization dedicated to electing reform-minded prosecutors.
