Overview
In a decisive election, Alameda County voters recalled District Attorney Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao amid public discontent regarding soaring crime rates. Price, who was criticized for her lenient approach to crime, faced a recall effort led by the Save Alameda for Everyone (SAFE) committee, capturing 64.8% of the vote. Thao was removed with 65% support, with both officials linked to a surge in crime that prompted businesses to flee. This marks a potential turning point in the political landscape of one of California's most liberal regions, reflecting demands for tougher crime policies.
