Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman is intensifying efforts to hold criminals accountable for their actions, particularly those who cross into the county, following his election victory over progressive incumbent George Gascón. Hochman, who campaigned as a “hard middle” candidate, criticized Gascón’s policies for contributing to rising crime and vowed to restore order while balancing public safety and fair sentencing. Emphasizing the importance of safety to voters across the political spectrum, Hochman aims to implement policies that prioritize accountability for criminal behavior in Los Angeles County.
