Nathan Hochman ousts embattled liberal prosecutor George Gascón as LA County DA amid crime concerns
Fox News
Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor, defeated incumbent progressive prosecutor George Gascón in the race for Los Angeles County district attorney.
"The voters of Los Angeles County have spoken and have said enough is enough of D.A. Gascón's pro-criminal extreme policies; they look forward to a safer future," Hochman said in a statement early Wednesday. "As D.A., I look forward to representing all of the people, whether they voted for me or not, since their safety will be my responsibility."
A representative for Gascón's campaign did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' call for comment.
