The official campaign to recall radical LA District Attorney George Gascon officially passed 700,000 signatures this week, meaning the measure will be placed on the ballot within months.
State law requires 567,000 signatures to advance the proposed recall.
“The members of the recall committee are mainly Democrats,” said Eric Siddall, vice president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys. “Our deputy district attorneys have not only been supporting this by vote of no confidence but with tireless efforts volunteering for the committee by gathering and verifying signatures. Angelenos want real reasonable, sustainable reform, not Gascon’s pro-criminal policies.”

“The sheer magnitude of this effort, and time and investment required to get to this point, show how strong the public desire is to remove George Gascon from office. From day one, this recall has been led by the very victims who Gascon has abandoned, ignored, and dismissed,” the campaign stated in a press release.
