LA PALMA, Calif.—Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer kicked off his re-election campaign Jan. 26 in a conference where he slammed “woke DA’s,” his opponent, and Los Angeles-style policies he says have been contributing to a major uptick in crime.
The news conference was held at the border of Orange and Los Angeles counties in El Rancho Verde Park, a symbol of Spitzer’s testament to the political divide between the counties due to how they prosecute criminals.
