A couple of weeks ago, former Sacramento Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Leras formally announced that he is running to be the Sacramento County District Attorney in next year's election. Sacramento Bee, 11/6/13. Here's his interview in today's Sacramento News & Review. Leras won the Brian L. Hintz Sacramento prosecutor of the year award in 1998.
While I don't know the other candidates, Leras stands out as having the most balanced criminal justice background. He not only served as an EDCA federal and Sacramento County prosecutor for the last 18-years, but he also was a Sacramento County deputy public defender for three years before becoming a prosecutor.
