San Francisco DA Faces Nepotism Allegations Over Chief of Staff Appointment

Brooke Jenkins appoints high school friend Monifa Willis, a nursing professor with no legal experience, to a $300,000-a-year role.

Monifa Willis, a nursing professor, was promoted to chief of staff by DA Brooke Jenkins despite lacking a law degree.
Willis continues to work a second job as a professor, raising concerns about her availability and commitment.
Critics, including political opponents, claim the appointment undermines public trust and accuse Jenkins of nepotism.
The DA's office defends the decision, citing Willis' managerial experience and trauma-informed care expertise.
The controversy comes amid rising crime rates and internal instability within the DA's office.
