Alameda County DA concedes recall election, announces temporary successor

The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office is set to be under new leadership, with Pamela Price formally conceding her recall loss and announcing the temporary appointment of her chief assistant district attorney to lead the office ahead of the Board of Supervisors’ appointment of a permanent successor through 2026.

Price gathered with her supporters and the press at noon Monday in downtown Oakland for a news conference in which she sought to highlight work she was proud of during her less than two years, affirm her commitment to ongoing criminal justice reform work and officially recognize the results of this month’s election.

“I am heartened knowing that when I leave this office, I will do so immensely proud of the work we’ve done both to improve the office and move criminal justice reform in Alameda County forward,” Price said.

While some ballots remain to be counted and election results are not yet certified, a vast majority had been counted as of the most recent update from the county as of Nov. 15, with each update continuing to be nearly 2 to 1 in support of the recall measure.
