CA: Recall organizers demand speedy special election to decide Alameda County district attorney's future

Earlier this month, the campaign seeking to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price achieved its goal of putting the question to voters at an upcoming election, according to a tally of petition signatures by the registrar of voters.

Now, recall supporters are trying to put pressure on county officials to schedule an election as soon as possible.

On Tuesday, recall leaders addressed reporters in front of the Alameda County Administration Building, where the Board of Supervisors was meeting. Speaking in front of a group of about 30 supporters holding signs, some of which said “Safety First” or depicted victims of violent crime, Brenda Grisham, a leader of the campaign, demanded the board use their next meeting on April 30 to schedule an election.

“Waiting until November is not an option,” said Grisham, referring to the possibility the supervisors could place the recall question on the Nov. 5 General Election ballot alongside numerous other ballot measures and races. “We need [Price] to go right now,” said Grisham, an advocate for victims of crime who has been critical of Price since the DA took office last year.
