Where did it go wrong for Chesa Boudin, San Francisco's ousted progressive DA?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : "They wanted Boudin out because he was trying to help them and give them a second chance and rehabilitate them." Janos Marton, an advocate who previously ran as a progressive DA candidate in Manhattan, said Boudin's loss was a setback, and signaled that criminal justice reform movement needed stronger messaging to counter escalating attacks: "We need to communicate to people why criminal justice reform will keep people safe in the short run and in the long run."
40% : But during the pandemic, he faced intensifying backlash from law enforcement, tech industry leaders, conservatives and residents concerned about crime.
39% : Boudin had faced strong opposition for bringing criminal cases against police officers, and activists fear Breed, who has repeatedly sided with law enforcement, will appoint a successor who will dismiss those cases.
35% : Mayor London Breed, a moderate Democrat who has been critical of Boudin and criminal justice reform, will appoint his replacement, but has not yet announced her pick.
