PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, September 26, 2024
Martinez, CA - We, the victims of crime, their families, local business owners and employees, as well as residents of Contra Costa County, have reached our limit and are initiating the recall of District Attorney Diana Becton.
We have successfully obtained our FPPC# and have recently launched our website. We are now positioned to accept donations, which will support the expenses associated with this recall effort. Our next step is to assemble the 10 proponents and submit the petition. We are confident in our ability to gather and complete all necessary documentation to proceed with this recall.
We are increasingly concerned about the persistent cycle of unaddressed criminal activity. We are frustrated by her continuous empty promises to victims and their families that justice will prevail while she permits criminals to roam free. Her lack of transparency regarding crime in this county and her attempts to keep offenders out of jail have left us disheartened. We stand for the residents of Contra Costa County because everyone deserves to live in a safe environment. We advocate for all crime victims who feel ignored, exasperated, and hopeless in their pursuit of justice for themselves or their loved ones. We support the business owners who endure constant thefts and burglaries from repeat offenders while Becton turns a blind eye. Her recent opposition to Prop 36 clearly shows her disinterest in creating a safer community and ensuring consistent consequences for drug and theft offenses. Prop 36 will mandate drug and mental health treatment for repeat drug and theft offenders, ending the cycle that drives these crimes which victimize our communities.
“District Attorney Diana Becton is compromising the safety of our community and failing to address the needs of victims. We are committed to restoring justice, starting with the urgent recall of District Attorney Diana Becton.”
