There’s a new ad by the recall effort lying about my record on drugs

 

New San Francisco ad blasts Chesa Boudin over drugs. There's just one problem. Hi, it's Chesa Boudin, District Attorney of San Francisco. The campaign behind the recall effort has released a new 30-second ad blasting my handling of drug-related cases. The ad claims that a San Francisco business owner (Max Young), had to close his nightclub because I was responsible for the “constant drug dealers” in front of his shop. Here’s the problem: Young closed his nightclub in 2019, months before I was even elected. So this is all clearly a lie. The ad falsely implies that I am responsible for the closure of this man’s business, even though it happened before I was elected. I’d also like to remind the recall effort that DA’s do not have control over citywide public health responses. Unfortunately, in politics you have to respond to every attack, even ones that are clearly and provably false. But with just a few weeks left in this election, I need your help. Can you contribute $20 or more to help me respond to their false attack ad? it’s obvious that the recall effort is comfortable lying about complicated problems to kick me out of office. But this is particularly frustrating because it ignores the work my office has done to hold drug dealers accountable and to stop overdose deaths. The ad ignores my advocacy for treatment beds and safe consumption sites. And it ignores my office’s prosecution of over 1,000 cases for drug sales or intent to sell -- a higher rate than that of my predecessor. Put simply, the recall is lying to the public about my record. They claim that recalling me would cause all the city’s problems to disappear. It’s not just wrong, but dangerous. And I won’t stand for it. Please donate what you can to help me correct their lies. Thanks for your support,  Chesa Boudin P.S. I’m reluctant to give their false ad free publicity, but if you want to watch it for yourself, you can do so here. Chesa Boudin was elected District Attorney of San Francisco in 2019 to reform our criminal justice system. Now, right-wingers  want to reverse our progress and return our city to a time when innocent people were locked away and police acted with impunity. Please chip in today to keep up the fight to reform San Francisco's criminal justice system.
