A little over a year after winning election to district attorney against an opponent backed by some of the most powerful figures in the state Democratic Party, 40-year-old Chesa Boudin, the Jewish former public defender and now chief prosecutor of San Francisco, spoke to J. about his accomplishments and some of the challenges faced since he came to office. The son of left-wing radicals who were incarcerated when he was a toddler, Boudin, who went on to earn a Rhodes Scholarship and a law degree from Yale before joining the public defender’s office in San Francisco, has faced criticism since the day he announced his candidacy in January 2019. But after two high-profile tragedies this year, which critics of his progressive policies have laid at his feet, public opposition has intensified, accompanied by a recall effort led by a former mayoral candidate who accuses Boudin of “dismantling the criminal justice system” in the city.
