Recalled Alameda County DA Pamela Price says she’s running again

HAYWARD, Calif. (KGO) — Recalled Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is running for office again.

She will join community leaders and justice reform supporters to officially launch her 2026 campaign at 12 p.m. Thursday.

According to a press release, her campaign will center on restoring trust in the DA’s office and “ensuring that justice is applied equally, fairly, and without political influence.”

It reads: “Gun violence in Alameda County continues to surge, and too many families are grieving losses that should never have happened. I am fighting for real solutions that stop the shootings, strengthen prevention efforts, and protect every neighborhood in this county.”

“As someone who survived the juvenile justice and foster care system, I carry the truth of those experiences with me. I have made it my life’s mission to confront youth violence and juvenile crime head on and to drive down recidivism by giving young people real paths forward instead of letting the system write them off.”

The campaign to remove Price from the district attorney’s office won with 65.22% in favor and 34.78% opposed in unofficial results.

Price highlighted her successes in bringing justice in high profile cases including the death of TV news security guard Kevin Nishita, the shooting death of toddler Jasper Wu, and the death Oakland Police Officer Tuan Le.

Soon after Price took office, opponents launched a petition drive and ultimately gathered enough signatures to place her name on a recall ballot, maintaining that her progressive reform platform was too soft on criminals and led to increasing crime — making her the first district attorney in the county’s history to face a recall.
