      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 …

      Pretty bad. But she was smart. When she was ready to move on and run for another office - she handpicked her successor and resigned. Upon her resignation, the all-Republican County Board of Supervisors appointed her handpicked successor as the new DA.pic.twitter.com/KOm8vYOw9H

      See where I'm going with this? Bonnie Dumanis managed to give her successor the advantage of the incumbency even though she's NEVER been elected. And how is she running her campaign? Running from her constituents. At the least the ones without big checks.

      She has the gall to claim she is "non-political" despite being appointed in a backroom deal made by one of the most corrupt politicians San Diego has ever seen. She's used her influence to oppose criminal justice reform at every turn.

      In a county that resoundingly rejected Trump last year - she's desperately hoping people don't find out that she's a right-wing republican. Here's her refusing to attend the @SanDiegoNAACP 's District Attorney Forum just this week.pic.twitter.com/T1uhIqLi9C

      But thankfully she's being challenged by a fierce agent of change. @JonesWright4DA is running an incredible people-powered campaign. She's one of those people that you meet for the first time and find yourself dedicating your life to telling everyone you know about her.

      Seriously. @JonesWright4DA is going to do for San Diego what @Krasner4DA is doing for Philadelphia. Check out a few of the many reasons we endorsed her here:https://realjusticepac.org/endorsements/genevieve-jones-wright/ …

      The election for DA in San Diego is June 5th. The temporary incumbent is hoping that as few people know that date as possible. Our job is to ORGANIZE. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Make sure everyone you know in San Diego are ready to vote on June 5th. Let's do this.

          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.

          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.
