SAN FRANCISCO -- She fired him and now he's running to replace her in the general election.San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is facing a lone challenger Nov. 5 -- former San Francisco prosecutor Ryan Khojasteh who said he can do a better job than his former boss.'We're proposing a better vision for public safety here in San Francisco that responsibly balances accountability with rehabilitation,' Khojasteh said.
Jenkins says Khojasteh, who is 30 years old, lacks experience and is unqualified.'I want people to understand the difference between my opponent and I. One, this is a person who is really Chesa Boudin 2.0 to be quite honest. It's somebody who subscribes to the same belief system that the recalled D.A. put into place that got us into this mess that our city was in,' Jenkins said.Jenkins said that was why she fired him and many of the Boudin hires right after she took office.
