A California district attorney who was recalled from office last year says she'll run again in the June 2026 primary election. Pamela Price won the 2022 general election for Alameda County district attorney but was recalled by nearly 63% of voters. She announced on Thursday that she would seek the office again, billing her campaign as a fight against billionaires, corporate corruption, and people aligned with President Donald Trump. Current DA Ursula Jones Dickson was appointed by the Board of Supervisors. In a statement, Jones Dickson said she "inherited a demoralized office and a charging backlog" from her predecessor. She said she trusts the judgement of voters who ousted Price.
San Francisco Bay Area voters will weigh in on the recall of another politically progressive prosecutor in November. Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price ran on a platform of offender rehabilitation and police accountability. She won office in November 2022. Her critics say she is undermining public safety. Her supporters say she deserves more time to make good on promises to reform the criminal justice system. The recall comes two years after San Francisco voters ousted Chesa Boudin, another progressive, from the district attorney's post in 2022. The city of Oakland is the county seat.
