Tell Gov. Newsom: Appoint Becton for Attorney General


John,

Here’s the situation: In the coming days, Governor Gavin Newsom will decide who to appoint as the next Attorney General of California.

Why this matters: Whoever Newsom chooses will determine the future of California’s criminal justice system. The Attorney General is widely seen as the second-most powerful elected state official after the governor. There are several people being considered for this role — but we know that Diana Becton is the STRONGEST candidate to lead bold reform policies and advocate for people-first justice.

As the District Attorney of Contra Costa County, Diana has led with a firm understanding that we must enact reform policies that match the dire challenges in our current criminal justice system. She has a progressive vision of what a truly just system should look like and her leadership in the AG’s office would have a lasting impact for millions of Californians.

Here’s how you can help make this happen, John: Sign our petition right now calling on Gov. Newson to appoint Diana Becton for Attorney General of California. Every signature we collect will put direct pressure on Gov. Newsom to appoint a leader who shares our vision for accountability, transparency, and real justice.
