S.F.’s Soros-Backed D.A. Resigns, Expected To Challenge L.A.’s Top Prosecutor in 2020

San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, considered one of the most progressive law enforcement officials in the nation, announced on Thursday that he would step down from that position later this month, relocate to his hometown of Los Angeles, then “explore a run for District Attorney” there.

The Los Angeles Times called the move “an almost certain signal that he is preparing to challenge Jackie Lacey to become Los Angeles County’s top prosecutor.”
