California: Second recall effort started against San Francisco District Attorney

A second recall effort has been launched against San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in his recall fight. This recall (San Franciscans for Public Safety) is led by local Democrats Mary Jung (the former chair of the local Democratic Party) and Andrea Shorter. The earlier recall effort was led by a former Republican Mayoral candidate Richie Greenberg (though Greenberg said he was replaced as head of the effort. 

The recall is over complaints over lenient treatment of criminals. Recall efforts kicked into high gear after a convict who was arrested on suspicion of driving a stolen vehicle and violating probation was released without bail and then ran over two women while running a red light. 

Petitioners have until August 11 to get 51,325.
