The battle to be San Francisco's district attorney has gotten ugly since the recall of soft-on-crime predecessor Chesa Boudin — and voters will now have their say to cap off a bitter campaign waged by four main candidates.
A series of issues plagued Brooke Jenkins, who was appointed by Mayor London Breed to clean up the city’s crime-ridden streets after Boudin's exit. Jenkins has cracked down on crime, specifically drug dealers and felons, but several slip-ups have also dogged her campaign for reelection.However, some say her biggest problem in deep-blue San Francisco could be that she is actually enforcing the law rather than looking the other way.
The race took an ugly turn last week when allegations surfaced that Jenkins emailed police reports to a colleague before both of them quit the District Attorney’s Office in 2021 to work on the recall of Boudin. The reports, which are not deemed a public record in California, were sent from Jenkins’s work email to colleague Don du Bain’s personal account, according to media reports.
Jenkins did not respond to requests for comment. She told SFGate that the records were not used in the recall and should’ve been sent to du Bain’s work email. In one of the instances, Jenkins coached a child witness testifying in a case by stating, “Say that — that’s what you need to say,” according to the complaint.
