NEW: Chesa Boudin, the progressive San Francisco District Attorney who was ousted in a June recall last year, has a new job.
In an email, he announced on Wednesday that he is the founding executive director of the new Criminal Law & Justice Center at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law.
He called this his most "ambitious project yet," and stressed that he will continue to support the "criminal reform movement" in principled and rigorous ways. Boudin, 42, was a first-time political candidate who narrowly won office in November 2019 as part of a national wave of progressive prosecutors who pledged to seek alternatives to incarceration, end the racist war on drugs and hold police officers to account.
