Let me tell you about the San Diego DA race.
San Diego's last DA was really bad. Even as far as DAs go.
She got national attention after she charged people for the crimes of others.
@CornelWest even came to town to rally the community against her.http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/lifestyle/people/sdut-cornel-west-speaks-lincoln-high-event-2015dec05-story.html …

I work in the anti-trafficking field--I teach sex-trafficking survivors--and Stefan is known for being a leader in anti-trafficking in San Diego. I'm progressive and interested in real justice. Can you help me understand your criticisms? Stefan's work for survivors...
-
Stephan claims to be for human trafficking victims but she conflates and equates trafficking to sex work. Late last year she sent lobbyists to Sac. to oppose protections for victims. Much of her positions and work on trafficking have begun once she declared candidacy.
-
Could you share what protections she opposed? Thanks!
-
Of course! She sent lobbyists to oppose “SB-823” , a bill which helped offer victims of trafficking a second chance by erasing non-violent offenses put on a record while they were being trafficked.
-
I actually think she supported that bill, and other bills fighting trafficking. https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/government/sacramento-report-tangled-web-human-trafficking-bills/ … Perhaps her weakness is in addressing police violence/brutality and being too "tough on crime"?
-
That article is from 2 years ago. She opposed SB-823 late last year. Her weakness isn’t exclusive to one issue though. The reason is that she isn’t concerned with justice or a vision for SD, she’s just concerned with consolidating power for her and her allies.
-
Just to be clear - that bill passed in 2016, not 2017. Summer may indeed be conflating issues, but I've not heard this & I've heard her speak several times. Your point is taken, but will only be convincing (for me) if supported by facts + citations. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billHistoryClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB823 …

Hi! If you search on google, you can find that the SD DA’s office under Summer’s leadership filed briefs in court opposing those bills. Even if Summer is acting like she opposes it in public , she doesn’t support it behind closed doors and that’s what matters.
