Civil-rights attorney Pamela Price will become Alameda County's next district attorney after her opponent, prosecutor Terry Wiley conceded, making her the first Black person elected to the post.
Price had declared victory over her opponent Friday night after she secured 53% of the vote to Wiley's 46%. By Monday afternoon, about 28,000 votes separated the two. Officials are still counting the results.
"I want to thank my family and everyone who supported me in my campaign, including my volunteers and everyone who voted for me. Although I expected a different result, I'm grateful for everyone's support," he said. "I congratulate Pamela Price on becoming Alameda County's first-ever African American district attorney. I look forward to working with Pamela in her transition to district attorney," he told supporters.
"We did it! Tonight's numbers are a confirmation of our victory." Price thanked her team and volunteers for her successful election in her statement Friday. "For the last 10 years, the office has stood in the way of the progressive reforms ushered in by our California legislature and endorsed by Alameda County voters."
