Criminal justice reform is on the ballot in the LA district attorney race

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has been a lightning rod for criticism since taking office in December 2020. The former San Francisco police chief and district attorney took office in LA promising a shift from his predecessor’s “tough on crime” policies.

Now, several recall attempts and four years later, Gascón is seeking re-election. His opponent, former federal prosecutor and defense attorney Nathan Hochman, appears to be an incredibly tough challenge for the office.
