Recall committee takes aim at Soros-funded DA whose soft-on-crime policies pushed several prosecutors to resign

A political committee formed on Tuesday has set its sights on removing California's Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price from office due to her controversial soft-on-crime leadership and policies that have pushed several prosecutors to resign.

The next step for the committee, “Save Alameda for Everyone: Recall DA Price,” will be to fundraise and gather signatures to launch an official recall against the George Soros-funded DA.

Price, who has only been in office for seven months, has been the target of substantial criticism regarding her soft-on-crime policies that seek to radically reform the justice system. She campaigned on the promise of curbing gun violence, putting an end to the death penalty, and preventing children from being charged as adults.

Earlier this year, her lenient policies pushed at least three of the county’s prosecutors to resign.

Prosecutor Jill Nerone stepped away from her position in April, stating in her resignation letter that crime victims were no longer the office’s priority and that the policies put in place prevented her from “adequately and ethically” protecting their rights.

“I cannot fully express the concern that we have with the direction that Alameda County is heading and the freedoms that violent offenders are given,” Nerone stated.

After 10 years with the Alameda County DA’s office, veteran prosecutor Charly Weissenbach declared in March that she would also be stepping away from her role.

Like Nerone, Weissenbach claimed that the administration’s policies kept her from “fulfilling my legal and ethical duties.”

In late April, prosecutor Danielle Hilton turned in her resignation letter after 26 years with Alameda County.

Hilton blamed Price’s leadership for her departure and declared that “victims deserve better.”

“I am leaving not because I want to; in fact, I want nothing more than to be an African American woman continuing to serve the citizens of Alameda County in a fair, unbiased and passionate manner. Under your management, I do not feel I can ethically and adequately carry out my duties as a prosecutor,” Hilton stated, referring to Price.

Price faced significant backlash from the community after she refused to lengthen the sentences of two individuals found guilty of shooting and killing children. Since she was elected, at least two dozen additional prosecutors and investigators have stepped away from their positions, the Intercept reported.

Price’s office did not respond to a request for comment, the Intercept and the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

The committee told KNTV that they are not ready to speak publicly about the recall effort.
