L.A. County Veers RIghtward on Crime

Our next book will look at the 2024 electionDemocrats gained three House seats in California, but the state also showed its conservative streak.

Koko Nakajima and Phi Do at LAT:
A decade ago, Proposition 47 turned some nonviolent felonies into misdemeanors. At the time it was overwhelmingly approved by 90% of neighborhoods in L.A. County. This month parts of it were repealed by Prop. 36.
Eighty-seven percent of neighborhoods that previously supported the ballot initiative voted to overhaul it. Those same neighborhoods heavily supported Nathan Hochman for district attorney.
New polling analysis reveals only 14% of L.A. County voters supported former Dist. Atty. Gascón and “No” on Prop. 36.
