California: Alameda County District Attorney facing recall threats

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is facing recall threats following criticism of what are seen as lenient plea deals, including a judge rejecting a plea deal of 15 years in a triple murder case. Price was elected as one of the new wave of Progressive prosecutors, which led to the recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and the serious attempt against Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon.

Petitioners would need 92,928 signatures to get on the ballot. While there is talk about a current effort, since Price's term only started on January 2, and there is a 90 day grace period, petitions could not have been taken out. 

Perhaps worth nothing that Price won office with over 53% of the vote, which is somewhat higher than Boudin (who got 50.8%).
