It's refreshing to see someone from the PD's office running for D.A. One of the current problems with our justice system is too many D.A.'s and judges are former prosecutors, which I think can skew things against defendants in the court room. I personally believe we need to see more D.A.'s and judges with a better idea what it means to be a criminal defendant, and I think people from the PD's office are uniquely qualified in that regard.

I'm curious if you think there is more that needs to be done to hold police officers accountable for the shooting of unarmed citizens. Two such incidents that occurred in San Diego are the shooting of Alfred Olango in 2016 and the shooting of Fridoon Nehan in 2015. I understand the need for a high bar for prosecuting officer involved shootings, but it seems to me the D.A.'s office does its best to withhold information from the public in attempt to avoid transparency. Would you plan to be more transparent by releasing information (such as video of the incident) to the public in a timely manner when incidents like this occur? Or do you think the D.A.'s office has handled these cases appropriately given the circumstances?

Thank you so much for such a thorough response, and I wish you the best of luck going forward.
