>> building a better bay area. moving forward. finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. >> this is a movement, not a moment in history. >> defiant in defeat, voted out of office but committed to the cause. >> what is next now that voters recalled the san francisco district attorney? i am liz kreutz. dan: i am dan ashley. we have election results at the bottom of your screen. we will begin with the san francisco race that gained the nations attention in the successful effort to recall the district attorney. liz: 61% of san francisco voters voted yes on prop h, yes to recall the attorney. 33% are in right now. we are projecting that he will be recalled. we have team coverage tonight. tim johns is with a group of recall supporters but first, stephanie sierra joins us from a

rally where he spoke and conceded about one hour ago. stephanie. stephanie: yes, you could tell it was with a heavy heart that he walked in but he was quick not to let his loss distract from his mission. this is a movement not this moment that supporters are celebrating tonight. you can see that they are gathering, in many respects, still cheering one hour after that concession speech and while chesa boudin's political career is done for now, he did make it clear that he will not stop fighting for restorative justice. from cheers to chants -- >> he's on our side. stephanie: to cries for change. >> we incarcerate more people than any other country in the world. stephanie: chesa boudin touted

as a leader, now the first ea to be successfully recalled in san francisco history. >> repeat after me for a minute. we are not afraid. >> we are not afraid. stephanie: the judicial facade -- philosophy in turn cost him his job. to him, it is a victory. >> that me tell you why we have already won. we have already won because we are part of a national movement that recognizes that we can never incarcerate our way out of poverty. stephanie: if you ask his supporters, he paved the way for a more equitable criminal justice system. the former public defender says he is not giving up the fight. it is only beginning. >> he stopped charging juveniles, kids, as adults. stephanie: in his own words, he

says there are two criminal justice systems. one for the rich and well-connected and another for everybody else and not is what he says he will continue fighting to change. liz: stephanie, interesting to hear him say he will continue to fight for criminal justice reform, that the movement continues. so what is next for chesa boudin ? what are his supporters hoping for now? stephanie: that is a great question, one that many of his supporters want to know the answer to and i will say that was very tightlipped about any future plans after the news tonight but his supporters are wondering, would he consider going back to the public defenders office? we know he served there for four years before assuming office in 2019 but other supporters were quick to refute that, saying he belongs in the da's office so there is speculation, could he run again for reelection?
