The results “indicate strongly that Mike Schmidt has got real challenges, that there's an opportunity for Nathan Vasquez,” said pollster John Horvick.

    I’m curious why voters concerned about drug use and crime are looking at the DA to solve them when PPB is arresting around 1/10th of the number of people as compared to neighboring counties. Police are accepting pay to do the job of policing, yet are refusing to do it all the while attempting to make the DA the scapegoat for their own incompetence and grifting.

      A lot of low information mouthpieces have trouble understanding data, and it’s probably even more difficult with the PPB boot in their mouths. Many of them still say we’ve defunded the police since they haven’t actually bothered to apprise themselves of the city budgets or how they are delineated, ever.
