Oakland Mayor and DA Recalled by Voters
In a significant political shift for Northern California, Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price are projected to be recalled following votes indicating 65% and 64.8% support for their removal, respectively. The recall efforts, driven by growing public concern over rising crime rates, were celebrated by leaders who argued that it reflected a mandate against progressive crime policies. Thao has faced criticism amid various controversies, including the loss of the Oakland A's and an FBI investigation, while Price's tenure has been marked by accusations of being soft on crime. The recalls represent a historic first in Alameda County for both offices, and local officials will appoint interim replacements until special elections can be held. Supporters of the recalls emphasize the need for stronger crime policies, while opponents warn that the upheaval could disrupt progress in the city. The final official results are anticipated within a week as all precincts have reported.
