you can get in touch with her online. her twitter and facebookram hanr screen right now. larry: joining us right now is san francisco's newly named district attorney, brooke jenkins. thank you so much for your time. i know that this is a busy day for you. you said in your news conference that so many people feel that san francisco does not feel safe. how do you fix that? brooke: we have to start with setting new tone, that crime is not something we will simply tolerate because we are a big city or compassionate city. that we are a city that still believes in accountability and in order and in justice. larry: what do you plan to do differently than your predecessor chesa boudin or george moscone in the office before that? brooke: we have to first restore accountability and consequences to our criminal justice system, and we also have to be responsible in the way that we implement reform.

reform will still be a top priority under my leadership, but we have to be very thoughtful and measured in the way that we implement progressive reforms so that we are not sacrificing public safety. larry: a lot of us are always thinking, if i was in charge, i would do it this way. so, did you ever envision that this day would actually come, that you would be in charge? brooke: i honestly did not. when i set foot in the das office eight years ago as a volunteer attorney in an unpaid position, i never could have imagined being the appointed district attorney. i am humbled and honored and i have dedicated the last eight years of my life to protecting san francisco enter fighting for its victims, so it is truly an honor to be in this position and i take it very seriously. larry: you have a number of things to take on, the calendar is working against you to a certain degree.

you have got to get your office together, but also, there is an election in november and you have to deal with that. have you ever actively campaigned in politics outside of the recent recall effort? brooke: i have not, so this is new for me, but i feel that being a career prosecutor has trained me to be in the trenches, to know how to balance your responsibilities. i am a mother of two small children, so i will continue to use those balancing skills in order to now have two balance running our office and making the changes that we need as well as moving forward with a political campaign. it will be a lot of work, but i am ready. larry: you were at odds with your former boss, chesa boudin, who has intimated that he may again run for the office that he held and was recalled from. are you prepared to go up against mr. chesa boudin, and

what would that be like for you? brooke: at this point, we don't know who's going to run, but i am prepared to run against whoever that is. i think my track record as a prosecutor speaks for itself. i have been dedicated to the city into this career for the past eight years. i have worked hard to find opportunities for criminal offenders in san francisco, to utilize alternatives to incarceration that we have, and i have also had to impose severe consequences for those who have committed very serious and violent crimes in san francisco. so, i believe that with my track record, as well as my vision for the office and for san francisco, that i would be in a great position come november. larry:. larry: what is the first thing people do when you get into the office tomorrow? brooke: i am going to meet with the staff, with the management team, and find out what are the most serious issues on their plates right now and one of the next things is to schedule an

office wide meeting. we have got to become a united office who is dedicated to our mission of restoring safety san francisco and we went everyone who has been on pins and needles for the past year with the recall happening and with this new appointment to feel comfortable that we are 18. larry: we really appreciate your time, brooke jenkins, newly appointed district attorney for the city of san francisco. i am sure we will be talking with you in
