I fear significant misunderstanding has hampered our relationship as allied representatives of a shared community. I think a personal communication to introduce ourselves will reassure you.
When the voters of Alameda County elected me to serve as District Attorney beginning in 2023, the County was already facing an alarming pandemic-driven rise in violent crime.
The District Attorney's Office also faced a crisis in its interactions with the broader community. The backlog in providing Alameda County victims of crime with compensation and services had become staggering.
The root causes for the rise in violence are complex and include the flooding of our community with guns during the COVID shutdown; dual housing and mental health crises.
