On this episode of WTF California Podcast, we interview Mary Knox, candidate for Contra Costa County District Attorney. She highlights how she plans to restore safety in the county to hold people accountable for the crimes they commit. She talks ethics, integrity and victims’ rights.
We get into a series of topics from homelessness, moral from both the District Attorney’s Office and police departments, catch and release to zero bail. The bizarre policy where police must ask criminals if “they needed” something when committing a crime, prop 47 and should it be repealed, lowing the threshold on drug cases as well as Civil Asset Forfeiture. Integrity of elected officials and favors being done by the current District Attorney comes into question. Plus more so be sure to give it a listen and share with everyone.

Loved to segment on Mary Knox !
If you’re open to it I’d like to do a spot on our veterans support program, Sentinels of Freedom in San Ramon.
Just Google Mike Conklin Sentinels of Freedom to see what we do.
Keep up the great show.
Vb, Mike
Current DA Becton is corrupt. If you are tired of Contra Costa County’s “soft on crime” attitude. Please vote for Mary Knox.
