My latest column: I went to Alameda County DA Pamela Price’s town hall in Fremont, & left unconvinced. I admire her vision, but it doesn’t align w/ reality. Her job, ultimately, is to prosecute offenders. And it didn’t seem like that was her top priority.

In what world is human trafficking of minors not considered a serious crime?? Democrats in Sacramento seem to be very averse to categorizing as “serious” violent crimes that disproportionately affect women and girls. Very disturbing.

California Democrats just showed why they’re failing to balance public safety and social justice

Many California Democrats say they are opposed to lengthening prison sentences. So why...
