Making the cut were several people with prior prosecutorial experience at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, as well a city attorney whose office has prosecuted numerous criminal cases under a unique arrangement found in only 12 other California municipalities. Wilson arrived the office in 2004, and more recently served as one of the key decision-makers in office’s daily task of filing charges against defendants. He ran unsuccessfully for district attorney in 2022, but stayed with the office under Price, first as the head of Rene C. Davidson Courthouse and later as he person in charge of Wiley W.

She was among the candidates endorsed by the group Save Alameda for Everyone, which led the recall effort against Price.
