The election timing could give the progressive prosecutor a better chance to stay in office.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is battling for political survival less than halfway through her first term | Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesAlameda County’s progressive District Attorney Pamela Price will face a recall election in November, the local board of supervisors decided Tuesday.
Underlining those stakes, Price’s supporters urged a November vote while her opponents demanded a special election over hours of raucous public comment. Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis backed a November election, noting it would be less complex and costly than a special election that could cost the county $15 million to $20 million.
But surging crime in Oakland, the largest city in her district, propelled a recall push that drew financing from major real estate and finance interests. San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin faced a similar turn of events in 2022 when voters ousted him over his own progressive policies. If the recall vote against Price succeeds, Alameda’s board would appoint a successor.
