The ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties believes county residents should be encouraged and empowered to vote for one of the most influential elected officials in our criminal justice system, the district attorney (DA).
We can advance the fight for justice and equity in our communities by making sure our fellow San Diegans vote all the way from the top of the ballot to the bottom.
Election Day is June 5. We have only a few days to educate county residents about the power their vote holds in making a positive difference in our region. With your help, we can improve our criminal justice system by electing a DA committed to Smart Justice.
Every voter you help us reach brings us a step closer to achieving a more just and compassionate San Diego County!

Why is the District Attorney Race Important?
As our region’s top prosecutor, the DA makes important decisions affecting the lives of more than three million San Diego County residents. The DA is an elected public official and accountable to us all.
We need your help to engage county voters to support Smart Justice values.
These values are:
- Reducing mass incarceration;
- Seeking justice, not just convictions;
- Ending racial bias;
- Creating transparency in decision-making; and
- Holding police and prosecutors accountable for misconduct.
Watch the livestream from our nonpartisan District Attorney Candidate Forum held on May 3rd in partnership with the League of Women Voters, Thomas Jefferson School of Law and California Western School of Law.
