California has faced a string of recall efforts in the past year. Currently, there is a recall election for San Francisco\u2019s District Attorney Chesa Boudin<\/a> and an effort to recall Los Angeles County Attorney George Gas<\/a><\/span>c\u00f3n. These are reflective of a larger problem that California voters are becoming increasingly aware of, namely a substantial rise in crime and homelessness.<\/span><\/p>\n

With 78% of registered California voters believing that crime has increased over the last year<\/a> with 65% saying that crime has increased where they live, voters have grown dissatisfied with California\u2019s lax on crime approach. Crime has grown worse under Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta who was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom to replace Xavier Becerra.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the 2022 elections approach, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, a candidate in the attorney general race, has come out and linked the policies that both Boudin and <\/span>Gas<\/span>c\u00f3n have promoted as being as ideologically the same as Bonta. In the midst of high crime rates, Schubert stated, \u201cDo I think the current attorney general (Bonta) has a very different ideology than I do? Absolutely. If you think what\u2019s happening in Los Angeles and San Francisco is good for California, he comes from the same ideological background.\u201d Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n<\/span>, who was endorsed by Bonta, has tried to pivot from some of his policies to show he cares about voter concern of crime. This after 98% of his deputy prosecutors voted to back his recall attempt. Boudin, on the other hand, claims that \u201cthe number of homeless people hasn\u2019t increased significantly,\u201d rather claiming that it is simply \u201cmore visible\u201d to social media users and campaign contributors. <\/span><\/p>\n

These recall efforts and the effort to remove <\/span>Gasc\u00f3n are being seen as a proxy for the removal of Bonta and a reflection of the dissatisfaction of their ideologically driven policies. Attorney General Rob Bonta\u2019s office declined to comment on the situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
