An effort to recall a George Soros-funded California district attorney has received enough signatures to advance to an election, according to a county document.
Organizers seeking to oust Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price have collected 74,757 verified signatures in support of their effort to hold a recall election, over 1,000 more than needed, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters announced Monday. Save Alameda for Everyone, one of the primary committees campaigning for Price’s removal, argues that Price has been prioritizing offenders over victims, contributing to an uptick in crime in their community.
Price ran for election on a platform of reducing the number of people in prison, reducing sentences for offenders under the age of 25 and cracking down on alleged police misconduct, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Since Price took office in January 2023, crime has risen across Alameda County.

Price’s 2018 district attorney campaign received $700,000 from the California Justice and Public Safety PAC, which is almost entirely funded by Soros. Price was unsuccessful in her 2018 run, but won when she ran again in 2022.
Since taking office in 2022, Price has implemented a number of reforms aimed at integrating racial and “restorative” justice into the county’s prosecutorial practices.
Employees in Price’s office were provided with training materials arguing that “the carceral state grew out of chattel slavery” and that “modern policing grew out of slave patrols.” The training also pushes a program that prioritizes “healing” and addressing root causes rather than punishment for offenders.

Brenda Grisham, one of the campaign’s leaders, is the mother of a homicide victim, according to Save Alameda for Everyone’s website.
The Alameda County district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
