San Francisco Mayor London Breed has named former district attorney's office prosecutor Brooke Jenkins to replace her former boss, Chesa Boudin, who was ousted in a recall vote.
Jenkins resigned from the DA's office last October, one of dozens of prosecutors to depart when Boudin took office in January 2020. She was outspoken in her criticism of Boudin's management of the DA's office and became a leading voice for the recall campaign.
Just over 55 percent of the city's voters in the June 7 election voted yes on Proposition H, the ballot measure to recall Boudin.
Jenkins has said that she identifies as progressive and is committed to criminal justice reform, but says there still has to be accountability to San Franciscans.
