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.

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.
Price was replaced by Ursula Jones Dickson, who was appointed by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to serve until the June 2026 election, which will determine who will fill the remainder of Price's term ending in 2028.
