The definitive record of Alameda County’s recalled DA. Documenting the scandals, failures and misconduct that led voters to remove her.

[PamelaPriceFiles.com @PamelaPriceFile]

THE PAMELA PRICE FILES are now live.

This is the complete, sourced record of why Alameda County voters recalled their District Attorney by a historic 62.9% to 37.1% margin in November 2024 — the largest DA recall by volume in recent American history.

Pamela Price was not a reformer who struggled. She was a catastrophic failure who prioritized ideological experiments and personal loyalty over victims, competence, and basic ethics. She was removed for cause.

Here is the record she hopes you forget:

She let the statute of limitations expire on over 1,000 misdemeanor cases, including domestic violence cases, because her office was so dysfunctional it couldn’t process them. Victims of abuse were denied justice not by policy, but by pure administrative collapse.

She hired her boyfriend, Antwon Cloird, at a $115,502 taxpayer-funded salary and gave him authority to recommend early releases from prison. Cloird had previously been under an active FBI investigation for allegedly extorting Richmond businesses with lines like “you gots to pay to play.” Price defended the hire by accusing critics of racism.

She fired a 22-year decorated Chief Inspector and replaced him with an unqualified political loyalist who had been forced out of the Oakland Police Department for lying under oath — a man who hadn’t even been background checked or Livescanned when he was put in charge of 60 sworn officers.

In the Dijon Holifield case — four murders in six weeks — she forced through a plea deal so favorable that the lead prosecutor resigned in disgust, stating Price “gave them the deal of a lifetime and he’ll be out next year,” leaving victims’ mothers “shattered and confused.”

In the Jasper Wu case, she removed special circumstances from the murder of a toddler killed in a freeway shootout and floated “non-carceral accountability” for the killers. When the family protested, her office refused to meet them and issued a statement claiming it was impossible for the DA to meet with every victim.

She was accused of attempting to extort $25,000 in campaign donations from a political critic at the funeral of a fallen Oakland police officer. When he refused, her office revived a dead case and charged him with a felony. The Attorney General later dropped related retaliation charges against a whistleblower prosecutor, calling it insufficient evidence and not in the interest of justice.

Multiple senior prosecutors resigned, including one who wrote she could no longer “fulfill my legal and ethical duties as a prosecutor under this administration.” Others said they could not “adequately and ethically protect the rights of victims.”

Her own spokesperson sued, alleging she was fired for being Asian American and for refusing to participate in hiding public records. Price was quoted as saying her primary enemies were “the media and the Asians.”

This is not a record of tough-on-crime reform. This is a record of weaponized incompetence, nepotism, retaliation, and the systematic prioritization of violent offenders over victims.

Ryan LaLonde helped install Pamela Price as Alameda County District Attorney. Then he ran from her the second things got messy.

In 2021, LaLonde was one of the key operatives digging up dirt on the previous DA, filing aggressive public records requests that triggered an FPPC complaint and a Grand Jury investigation. When Price won in 2022, he was rewarded with the top communications job in her administration. He lasted barely two months.

He publicly resigned after Price hired her romantic partner — a man previously investigated by the FBI for extortion — into a six-figure county position. LaLonde went on the record whining that he “begged not for it to happen” and questioned how he could defend an administration that hired a significant other while claiming to clean up past improprieties. Then he hit the podcast circuit to trash the very administration he helped build.

This is the quality of operator who surrounded Pamela Price.

Now LaLonde is President of the Alameda Unified School District Board, and he’s pulling the same moves at a larger scale. In early 2026, he personally brokered a teacher contract that handed the union a 6% immediate raise, ongoing 3% increases, and full healthcare coverage. While doing it, he openly admitted the district was “spending down a portion of the cushion we maintain to protect against a sudden or long-term economic downturn” and “pre-committing any additional one-time money coming in the next few years.”

He didn’t just make a tough call. He deliberately burned through reserves and locked in future costs to buy labor peace and political credit. That’s not leadership. That’s fiscal recklessness dressed up as compassion.

LaLonde’s entire brand is built on weaponizing his identity as a gay man raised in a same-sex household to push aggressive equity policies and cultural mandates while positioning himself as the ethical adult in the room. He helped create the Price disaster, bailed when it threatened his image, and now lectures everyone else about values while raiding school district reserves.

This is what happens when you elevate people whose primary skill is managing optics and navigating progressive networks rather than delivering results. LaLonde helped put Pamela Price in power. Then he proved he’ll abandon anyone the moment it stops being convenient for him.

Two months into her job as District Attorney, Pamela Price decided the best way to improve the criminal justice system was to disarm her own prosecutors.

Through Special Directive 23-01, she made probation or the lowest possible prison sentence the default offer for nearly every crime in Alameda County. She banned her deputies from pursuing sentencing enhancements for guns, gangs, and bail violations without her personal approval. She also ordered them to drop prior strikes at the charging stage, effectively killing California’s Three Strikes law for repeat violent offenders. The policy even applied retroactively.

The logic was simple and disastrous. Without the threat of real consequences, defense attorneys had zero reason to cut deals. Why plead guilty when the worst-case scenario was already capped at the lightest possible sentence? What was once a fast-moving system built on plea negotiations turned into a clogged backlog of cases heading toward trial.

Her solution to this self-created chaos was to add more bureaucracy. Any deviation from the ultra-lenient default required approval from multiple supervisors, including Price herself. California law gives prosecutors 48 hours to file charges on someone in custody. Her office couldn’t meet that deadline because her own policy had turned routine decisions into multi-layered approval nightmares.

The result was not reform. It was failure on a massive scale. Over 1,000 misdemeanor cases, including domestic violence cases, were dismissed because the statute of limitations expired while her office was too paralyzed to act. Victims who came forward expecting justice were ultimately told, through pure negligence, that their cases no longer mattered.

Under the previous administration, prosecutors used enhancements and prior strikes as leverage to secure guilty pleas and protect the public. Under Price, those tools were stripped away, repeat violent offenders received sentences nearly identical to first-time offenders, and the system broke under the weight of her own policy.

This wasn’t an unfortunate side effect. It was the direct and predictable consequence of a directive she chose to implement.

George and Alex Soros helped install recalled Pamela Price as Alameda County District Attorney. What followed was a complete breakdown of the office and a betrayal of the victims she was supposed to protect.

Soros-linked networks spent over $190,000 backing her through national progressive prosecutor groups. That money was used to put someone in power who would carry out a specific ideological agenda, not someone chosen by local residents based on their actual record or priorities. Once in office, the consequences became impossible to ignore.

Her administration allowed the statute of limitations to expire on over 1,000 misdemeanor cases, including domestic violence cases, because the office was too dysfunctional to process them. She hired her boyfriend, a man who had previously been under FBI investigation for extortion, and gave him influence over early prisoner releases. She also overrode her own prosecutors to push through lenient deals for violent offenders, even when the evidence against them was overwhelming.

In the Dijon Holifield case, 4 people were murdered in a 6 week period. The case against him was exceptionally strong, yet Price forced through a plea deal so favorable that the lead prosecutor resigned in protest. In the Jasper Wu case, she removed special circumstances from the men responsible for killing a TODDLER and explored options that would have allowed them to avoid significant prison time. When the family sought to meet with her, she refused.

This level of failure and disregard for victims was not an accident. It was the direct result of placing someone in the District Attorney’s office whose political rise was funded and supported by George and Alex Soros’s national operation. The same network that has spent hundreds of millions reshaping prosecutor offices across the country helped put Price in power in Alameda County, and the damage to public safety and victims followed.

Alameda County voters eventually recalled her by a historic margin. But the fact that she was elevated in the first place shows what happens when outside ideological funding overrides local accountability.

Read it. Share it. This is the clearest self-dealing ballot measure Oakland has seen in decades. They’re not even hiding it anymore.

If you’re tired of being governed by people who treat your neighborhoods as afterthoughts and your tax dollars as their personal compensation fund, this is the line.

The measure goes down in November or Oakland loses what little local representation it still has.

[OaklandPowerGrab.com @OakPowerGrab]

On June 16, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee used her tie-breaking vote to force a ballot measure onto November’s ballot that does two things at once:

It gives her unilateral veto power over the budget and legislation.

And it quietly bribes City Councilmembers with massive pay raises in exchange for their support.

This wasn’t reform. It was a transaction.

The measure requires councilmembers to work full-time and bans outside employment. Then it hands the Public Ethics Commission the power to benchmark their salaries against “comparable” full-time cities like Los Angeles — where council pay already exceeds $245,000. That’s a potential 125% raise from the current ~$114k. Total compensation with benefits could push past $300k.

They wrote the rules so the only way councilmembers get the big paycheck is if they vote to hand the Mayor line-item veto power and turn themselves into a reactive oversight body with no real budget authority. If she keeps just three loyal votes on the council, she becomes a functional dictator over spending in every neighborhood.

This is the deal.

Her hand-picked Charter Reform Working Group — the same one that suppressed the cleaner, less corrupt Council-Manager alternative — delivered exactly what she wanted. Four councilmembers had the courage to vote against putting it on the ballot. She overrode them with her tie-breaker to ram through her own power expansion.

While Oakland voters were rejecting her $192 parcel tax Measure E in June because they no longer trust City Hall with money, she was engineering a permanent pay hike for politicians and a structural power grab that lets one person defund district projects at will.

This isn’t about fixing government. It’s about consolidating it.

Barbara Lee has spent months talking about “accountability.” What she actually delivered is a system where the Mayor writes the budget, vetoes legislation, and controls the administrative apparatus — while the people who are supposed to check her power get financially incentivized to look the other way.

The same Mayor whose private fundraising from contractors and interests doing business with the city already raises conflict questions now wants even more unchecked authority over those same contracts and budgets.

Oakland doesn’t have a structure problem. It has a leadership and trust problem. Voters just proved they won’t keep writing blank checks for failing services. So instead of fixing the services, City Hall rewrote the rules to give itself more power and more money.

[PamelaPriceFiles.com @PamelaPriceFile]

Pamela Price spent decades building a career and a political brand as a civil rights attorney who fought hostile work environments, retaliation, and the abuse of power.

She sued employers for creating toxic workplaces. She represented victims of wrongful termination. She took a landmark case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that patterns of harassment and discrimination should be taken seriously — even when individual acts fell outside the normal filing window.

She also made her personal story central to her political identity. She repeatedly told voters she was a survivor of domestic violence and the juvenile justice system. She used that narrative to position herself as someone who uniquely understood both the accused and victims of abuse.

Then she became District Attorney.

And she did the exact opposite of everything she once claimed to stand for.

Under Price, multiple senior staff members filed lawsuits alleging they were subjected to retaliation, a hostile work environment, and wrongful termination inside her own office. The same woman who once made a living holding powerful institutions accountable for creating toxic workplaces was now the defendant in lawsuits accusing her of doing the same thing.

Even more damning was what happened to actual victims of domestic violence.

During her 2022 campaign, domestic violence advocates protested outside courthouses because they feared she would stop prosecuting misdemeanor domestic violence cases. They were right to be worried.

Her administration allowed the statute of limitations to expire on over 1,000 misdemeanor cases, including domestic violence cases. Not because of some deliberate policy to reduce incarceration. Because her office was so dysfunctional and mismanaged that cases simply died. Victims who came forward were ultimately told — through inaction — that their cases no longer mattered.

The woman who weaponized her own story as a domestic violence survivor to win power then presided over a system that systematically denied justice to hundreds of other domestic violence victims.

This is not a story of good intentions that fell short. This is the story of someone who built an entire public persona around fighting exactly the kind of abuses she later enabled and participated in.

She didn’t fail to live up to her own standards.

She actively became the thing she once claimed to fight against.

Every fact above is documented in IRS Form 990s, campaign finance filings, FBI investigative records, court documents, and legislative voting history.

[BontaFiles.com @TheBontaFiles]

Rob and Mia Bonta built their power in California on money from a human trafficking front, fraudulent nonprofits, and a donor network now under active FBI indictment.

Mia Bonta’s 2021 Assembly campaign received thousands in straw donor contributions from “Music Cafe,” an Oakland karaoke bar raided by state authorities for ketamine and ecstasy distribution, prostitution, and human trafficking. The man investigators believe was the real owner of that front called Rob Bonta “brother,” partied with the Bontas in limousines, and sat courtside with them at Warriors games.

Just months after those donations, Mia Bonta abstained on a bipartisan bill making the commercial sexual exploitation of children a serious felony under California’s Three Strikes law. She only reversed course after nationwide outrage and public threats forced her hand.

This is the same couple whose operation includes Mia running Oakland Promise without a valid federal 501(c)(3) determination. She filed IRS Form 990s using a duplicate EIN from another nonprofit in clear violation of California corporation law. While the organization operated in legal limbo, she collected base salaries of $160,625, $147,000, and $128,125 in different years. Rob Bonta used his position in the Legislature to behest corporate and lobbyist money directly into organizations paying his wife six figures, including a $25,000 transfer from his own foundation that he initially tried to disguise as a loan on tax filings.

Her 2021 campaign headquarters was located at 1241 High Street in Oakland — the exact former corporate address of Viridis Fuels, the failed biofuel company that received a $3.4 million state grant after Rob Bonta personally intervened with the California Energy Commission on behalf of its president, a donor with a documented history of tax liens and financial failure.

The Duong family and their associates, now federally indicted alongside former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on bribery and corruption charges, pumped over $172,000 into Rob and Mia Bonta’s campaigns — more than 30x their average contribution to other local politicians. When the FBI raids hit, Rob returned $155,000 “out of an abundance of caution.” His campaign then spent nearly $469,000 on private legal counsel from one of the most expensive firms in the country to navigate the investigation, including after receiving a letter warning that one of the targets possessed a “compromising video” of the Attorney General.

While this was happening, Rob Bonta’s Department of Justice leaked the full personal data of over 240,000 Californians who held concealed carry permits — names, addresses, dates of birth, and license numbers — days after the Supreme Court struck down similar restrictions in Bruen. The same Attorney General who has positioned himself as a national champion of data privacy and sued companies for far less presided over one of the most reckless state-sponsored data breaches in California history.

Mia Bonta authored AB 2624, legislation already being called the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” by critics. It attempts to criminalize journalists and citizens who document misconduct by taxpayer-funded nonprofits and government contractors — the exact structures her own record shows were used to move money and shield operations from scrutiny.

Rob Bonta has used the powers of the Attorney General’s office to manipulate ballot language against tough-on-crime measures that later passed with overwhelming voter support, lost a 6-3 Supreme Court case for violating First Amendment donor privacy rights, and allowed foreign-linked money to flow into litigation he then personally promoted for political gain.

They function as one closed system. She advances the agenda and shields the nonprofit pipeline. He controls the Department of Justice, the budget fights, and the legal apparatus that protects the machine. When one is threatened, the other’s power is deployed.

[PamelaPriceFiles.com @PamelaPriceFile]

The Jasper Wu case alone should have ended Pamela Price’s political career forever.

A TODDLER was KILLED by a stray bullet while sleeping in his car seat during a rolling GANG shootout on an Oakland freeway. The previous District Attorney had charged the two suspects with special circumstances, which carried the possibility of life without parole.

Pamela Price removed those enhancements.

An internal email later leaked showing that Price was exploring “non-carceral forms of accountability” for the men who murdered the child — meaning she was actively looking for ways they could avoid prison time entirely.

When the Wu family and the broader Asian-American community demanded to meet with her, she refused. Her office issued a cold, defensive statement claiming it was impossible for the District Attorney to meet with every victim.

This wasn’t a tough call on a complicated case. This was a prosecutor who looked at the murder of a toddler and decided the killers deserved more consideration than the grieving family.

This case became the emotional core of the recall effort against her. It wasn’t right-wing operatives or billionaires who turned on Price over this — it was parents, victims’ families, and entire communities who watched her repeatedly side with violent offenders while showing zero empathy for the people they destroyed.

And yet she still received over 91,000 votes in her 2026 comeback attempt.
That’s how dangerous it is when her record isn’t constantly and aggressively exposed. People either don’t know, or they’ve already started to forget what she actually did in office.

This account exists so that never happens.

[PamelaPriceFiles.com @PamelaPriceFile]

Pamela Price lost her 2026 comeback primary,

But she still got 91,165 votes — over 25% of the electorate.

That number is disgusting.

After everything she did in office, nearly 100,000 people in Alameda County still thought she deserved another shot at being District Attorney. That should tell you how dangerous it is when her record isn’t constantly and aggressively exposed.

This is who those voters were willing to support:

She gave a sweetheart plea deal to Dijon Holifield, a man charged with FOUR separate MURDERS in a six-week crime spree. The case was so strong it included DNA, ballistics, and 26 witnesses. Her own lead prosecutor resigned in protest, saying Price “gave them the deal of a lifetime and he’ll be out next year,” while the mothers of the victims were left shattered.

She removed special circumstances from the men who killed toddler Jasper Wu in a freeway gang shootout. An internal email later showed she was exploring “non-carceral accountability” for his killers. When the child’s family and the Asian-American community demanded to meet with her, she refused and hid behind a statement claiming it was impossible for the DA to meet with every victim.

She hired her BOYFRIEND, Antwon Cloird, at $115,000 in taxpayer money and gave him authority to recommend which prisoners should be released early. Cloird had previously been under an active FBI investigation for allegedly extorting Richmond businesses, with witnesses stating he told owners they had to “pay to play.” Price defended the hire by calling critics racist.

Her office let the statute of limitations expire on over 1,000 misdemeanor CASES, including domestic violence cases. Victims were denied justice not because of some progressive policy, but because her administration was so incompetent and dysfunctional that cases simply died on the vine.

Experienced prosecutors resigned in droves. One wrote that she could no longer “fulfill my legal and ethical duties as a prosecutor under this administration.” Another said she could not “adequately and ethically protect the rights of victims.”

She was already recalled by 62.9% of voters in 2024. The fact that she still pulled over 91,000 votes in 2026 proves that too many people either don’t know what she actually did or have already started to forget.

This account exists so that never happens again.
