The face-off could have far-reaching implications for the largest local prosecution office in the nation.

San Francisco Dist. Atty. George Gascon is weighing a campaign to unseat Jackie Lacey, L.A.'s top prosecutor.

“This is a big decision for me and it is one I will ultimately be making in consultation with my family, but I am both proud and humbled that so many Angelenos have encouraged me to bring a data-driven vision of public safety and racial equity back to my hometown of Los Angeles,” Gascon said in a statement.

“While the one-size-fits-all strategy to prosecution is politically safe, in San Francisco we’ve proven that there are alternatives that yield better results for community safety and fairness, and that don’t devastate budgets and entire generations of brown and black men,” he said in the statement.
