Los Angeles County D.A.'s Race Heats Up in Final Weeks to Contentious Election

The Los Angeles County D.A. race has narrowed to incumbent George Gascón and challenger Nathan Hochman. In a heated Zoom debate hosted by Los Angeles Magazine and the Jewish Federation Los Angeles, the candidates clashed over crime-fighting strategies and their professional histories. Gascón highlighted his long career in law enforcement and endorsements from multiple community leaders, while Hochman criticized Gascón's progressive policies and questioned his effectiveness. Gascón defended his approach by emphasizing justice reform and public safety for marginalized communities, whereas Hochman accused him of endangering public safety by implementing "extreme pro-criminal policies." Both candidates brought attention to their backgrounds, with Hochman focusing on his commitment to public service inspired by his Jewish faith and Gascón referencing his career accomplishments.
