Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), who has made an overhaul of the justice system a cornerstone of his campaign for president, was among Boudin’s highest-profile supporters. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty," Sanders tweeted <https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1193337033500037120> Saturday. "Congratulations @chesaboudin on your historic victory!” "The race for San Francisco’s district attorney kicked off in fall 2018 when then-district attorney George Gascón, himself a progressive, announced he wouldn’t seek reelection. His departure paved the way for the city’s first district attorney race in a century with no incumbent. AD "As recently as a few years ago, Loftus might have been a shoo-in for the job. Many of the state’s highest-ranking Democrats lined up behind her, with endorsements coming from San Francisco Mayor London Breed, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sens. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)." Boudin is the son of Weatherpeople David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin who was adopted and raised by William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
