San Franciscans woke up to a deluge of opinions about what Boudin’s recall means for The City and the national criminal justice reform movement. But where the district attorney’s office heads in the immediate future will be up to Mayor Breed.
Breed needs to know why voters recalled San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and what they’re looking for in his replacement, while voters will be guessing who Breed will choose as the next DA — then judging her by her replacement.
Speaking to reporters outside an event on Wednesday, Breed gave no hints about any favorites for the job. She said she’s already talked with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including people who’ve served time in jail for crimes they didn’t commit and people who have lost loved ones to gun violence to “get a well-rounded perspective from people on both sides.”
Breed is clearly aiming to address voters’ concerns about public safety. Speaking Wednesday morning, she was flanked by Supervisor Matt Dorsey, the San Francisco Police Department’s former top spokesperson whom she recently appointed to fill a vacancy on the board. She’s also proposed a city budget that increases the police department’s budget by nearly 8% and includes new hiring and retention bonuses for officers.
