Alameda County DA Pamela Price Set for Recall Election

Following intense scrutiny over her criminal justice policies, DA Pamela Price will face a recall vote after opponents gather sufficient signatures.

Opponents of Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price successfully gathered 74,757 valid signatures, surpassing the required threshold to trigger a recall election.
The recall campaign, driven by criticism of Price's lenient sentencing policies, marks a significant challenge to her progressive approach to criminal justice.
Price's administration has been characterized by efforts to reduce mass incarceration and re-examine cases of police misconduct, sparking controversy and opposition.
A special election for the recall could occur between July and September, pending a decision by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
Legal challenges to the recall process are being considered, with Price's campaign voicing concerns over the validity and handling of the petition signatures.
