EDITORIAL: RobBonta is the best choice for California attorney general at a time when rising public anxiety over crime threatens to erode the state’s commitment to important criminal justice reforms.
The campaign to unseat California Attorney General Rob Bonta is among the political fights that will center on crime. at a time when rising public anxiety over crime threatens to erode the state’s commitment to important criminal justice reforms.
In his first year as attorney general, Bonta has launched new teams to fight sex trafficking in the state, busted street gangs and worked to increase funding for community policing and violence prevention. Enforcing the law and prosecuting criminals is an important part of the job, but Bonta understands that fighting crime requires more than just parroting “tough on crime” talking points and pushing policies to fill the state’s prisons with nonviolent inmates.
Bonta grasps the importance of accountability and justice – even when those accused of crime are police officers. During his career in the California State Assembly, Bonta led on important reforms to curb police use of force and require the attorney general to investigate police shootings. As attorney general, he has followed through by establishing the state’s Police Shootings Investigation Team to investigate questionable police shootings.
It’s unclear whether the largely unknown Schubert can survive the primary without the benefit of a party affiliation, but the two Republicans in the race would face an even steeper uphill battle against Bonta in a general election. This explains why Bonta’s campaign has sought to elevate, the most far-right and pro-Trump candidate in the race.
