Commentary

Chesa Boudin, San Francisco’s radical district attorney, could face a recall later this year. According to Ballotpedia, after an initial recall effort failed, “A second recall effort was started on April 28, 2021, by a group called the San Franciscans for Public Safety. Organizers have until October 25, 2021, to gather the same number of signatures (51,325) in order to move the recall forward.”
