Recall campaigns in the East Bay to oust Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela appear to have won by wide margins.
Saturday, November 9, 2024 3:26AMResults so far indicate Alameda County voters are set to recall District Attorney Pamela Price by a nearly two-to-one margin.
A Thao campaign spokesperson didn't respond to requests for comment on Tuesday night. Thao was elected mayor in 2022 in a ranked choice election. The campaign to remove Price from the district attorney's office won by a similar margin, with 65% in favor and 35% opposed in unofficial results.Soon after Price took office, opponents launched a petition drive and ultimately gathered enough signatures to place her name on a recall ballot, maintaining that her progressive reform platform was too soft on criminals and led to increasing crime -- making her the first district attorney in the county's history to face a recall.
