George Gascón is a lifelong public servant running on a progressive platform to continue his record of driving crime to historic lows without compromising his values of decarceration and decriminalization.
After current District Attorney Jackie Lacey failed to get over 50% of the vote in the March 2020 primary, voters in LA have made it clear: it’s time to fix LA County’s criminal justice system. For 8 years DA Jackie Lacey has resisted progressive reforms while defending tough-on-crime policies.
We endorse George Gascón (D) because he has the experience and leadership to reshape our justice system. His criminal justice reform efforts have served as a positive model of leadership. He is the former San Francisco District Attorney and Assistant Chief of the LAPD.
His criminal justice reform efforts have served as a positive model of leadership. Throughout his career, Gascón has been on the forefront of innovative criminal justice reform. He has successfully:

Advocated for one of the nation’s toughest standards on use of force to reduce police killings
Instituted a tool for eliminating racial bias in prosecutors’ charging decisions
Co-wrote historic legislation to reduce punishments for small drug possessions
Expunged over 9,000 marijuana convictions
Launched California’s first public portal on prosecution data

Los Angeles deserves a DA committed to bringing fairness and integrity back to the LA District Attorney’s Office. Gascón has proven we can achieve public safety without criminalizing Black people, and without relying on incarceration as the only form of justice.
