Chesa Boudin will serve as San Francisco's next district attorney, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.
Boudin, the most progressive candidate on the ballot, won a tight race against interim district attorney Suzy Loftus. Boudin held 85,950 votes as of Saturday afternoon, with about 1,200 ballots left to count, the Chronicle said. Loftus had 83,511 votes.
The 39-year-old won the seat following four days of ballot counting in the city's first open election for district attorney in over a century following sitting District Attorney George Gascon's departure to run for district attorney in Los Angeles.
"We are all feeling the momentum for change in this city!" Boudin tweeted Friday after learning he held a slight lead in the election.
The former deputy public defender ran on a campaign that promised to address racial disparity in the criminal justice system, mass incarceration and police accountability.

This one will spend 150% of the budget pursuing the greatest and most imminent threat to San Fransicko: White Nationalism.
Being the son of domestic terrorists likely helped him win the election. How much love do you think San Fran-sicko has for America?
Soros has been pouring money into these local elections regarding law enforcement he is working VERY HARD to create chaos in this country ANY WAY he can!!! The HATRED I feel for this immigrant BASTARD is not healthy!!!
San Francisco elects the “most progressive” of the candidates, the son and stepson of communists and terrorists.
The good news is that I am over 2000 miles from San Francisco. The bad news is this guy will probably go to Washington some day.
I feel sorry for any normal people who may be left in San Francisco.
Bible prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes.
Oh good. I wondered. (I did notice on another thread that you posted on had the same thing :( ) Maybe emojis/icons can’t be posted from a cell phone.
Terence Hallinan, who was SF DA before Kamala Harris, had Communist ties. His father, Vincent Hallinan, a successful lawyer, ran for president after Henry Wallace on the Progressive ticket. Father and son had a variety of legal troubles: tax evasion for Vincent, fisticuffs for Terence.

Well, the S.F. Police Officers Association did run ads and do mailings against him. In fact, of the 4 candidates, he was, to my knowledge, the only at whom negative ads were directed. Did it derail him? Obviously not. Perversely, it probably helped him rather than hurt him. The “f-— the police” crowd is big in S.F.
Obviously, there’s no shortage of far-left voters in S.F. for whom the Weather Underground connection, being raised by Bill Ayers, having worked in the Hugo Chavez administration are positives not negatives.
And, of course, there were some other factors at play. For one thing, his last name didn’t hurt. A venerable local sourdough bread brand is Boudin, and there has been some speculation that elderly and low-information voters mistakenly thought he was related to that bakery family.
The other thing, to give the devil his due, was that he did probalby campaign harder than the other candidates. I regularly saw him and his band of dedicated young leftists pushing his candidacy at Sunday street fairs for months.
David Gilbert grew up in a Jewish family in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. He was an Explorer Scout, and his father was Post Leader, of a South Brookline Explorer Post. Inspired in his teens by the Greensboro sit-ins and other events of the Civil Rights Movement, he joined the Congress of Racial Equality at age seventeen. He entered Columbia University in 1962. In March 1965, Gilbert founded the Independent Committee on Vietnam (ICV) at Columbia University. Later, in the same year, he co-founded the Columbia University Chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which merged with ICV in the Fall of 1966, even though there was already a chapter set in place that was formed in the early 1960s. The SDS chapter founded by Gilbert became renowned.[2]...
Wasn’t Barack Obama at Columbia in this time period? When did he connect with Ayers and company?
