"The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office is the nation’s largest local prosecutorial agency by far. Its caseload, together with L.A.’s position as a capital of innovation and a breeding ground for political movements, put the L.A. D.A.’s office in a position to influence justice policy not just here but throughout California and, arguably, around the nation.
Practices established in L.A. may well set the course for dealing with homelessness, mental health care, policing and public safety everywhere.
That makes a strong case to be made that aside from the presidential race, the most important item before voters in 2020 will be the race for L.A. County D.A."—Los Angeles Times
