I’m running to protect our democracy. I have been standing in the gap for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and gun violence my entire legal career. I took on Yale University in 1977 to stop rape and sexual harassment of women, and protect our legal rights to get an education. We all have a responsibility in the time of Trump to stand up for our beliefs, our neighbors and our community. The fact is the Board of Supervisors appointed someone whose extreme views are out-of-sync with the values of our community. We are vulnerable to Donald Trump’s attacks on our community as long as we have a DA who does not respect the Constitution or the impact of her decisions on our community. Justice should NOT be bought by billionaires or police associations. 

I am running for re-election because I believe we can have a fair justice system where the outcome does not depend on your wealth, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, political position or your zip code. Justice is in my DNA.
