| District Attorney | |
| Before Election: | George Gascón |
| After Election: | Nathan Hochman |
Incumbent district attorney George Gascón was first elected in 2020, unseating two-term incumbent Jackie Lacey in a publicized election seen as a victory for criminal justice reform in Los Angeles. Gascón's tenure has been characterized by his liberal and progressive policies, such as opposition to capital punishment in California and reopening cases of officer-involved shootings. As a result, a series of recall efforts have been made against Gascón, and his office has received backlash from law enforcement groups and some of the families of violent crime victims.[1]
