Alameda County DA Pamela Price Faces Recall Effort

Organizers submit over 123,000 signatures amid debates on crime and justice reform.

Recall organizers submitted 123,387 signatures to initiate a recall election against Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, exceeding the required threshold if validated.
The recall effort, led by Save Alameda For Everyone, criticizes Price's handling of crime and seeks to address community safety concerns.
Price's campaign argues the recall undermines democracy and the progress made in criminal justice reform, attributing the effort to wealthy backers.
The validation process for the signatures is complicated by concurrent electoral events, with potential recall election dates ranging from early May to late fall 2024.
Price, the first Black woman to serve as Alameda County's top prosecutor, faces opposition for her progressive policies on crime and police misconduct.
