Chesa Boudin Celebrates Victory After Winning Race For SF District Attorney

Chesa Boudin celebrated his election victory in the race to become SF’s District Attorney,. As Betty Yu reports, he was the most progressive candidate on the ballot focusing on reform over incarceration.
When Boudin was 14 months old, his parents were arrested for murder in their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink’s robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York. His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard. After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.

Boudin descends from a long left-wing lineage. His great-great-uncle, Louis B. Boudin, was a Marxist theoretician and author of a two-volume history of the Supreme Court‘s influence on American government, and his grandfather Leonard Boudin was an attorney who represented controversial clients such as Fidel Castro and Paul Robeson.
Boudin is also related to Michael Boudin, a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and I.F. Stone, an independent journalist.

Boudin entered St Antony’s College, Oxford, on a Rhodes Scholarship in 2003. At Oxford, he earned two master’s degrees, one in forced migration and the other in public policy in Latin America. He earned his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 2011 and began work for the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office as a post-doctoral fellow in 2012.
Before law school, Boudin traveled to Venezuela and served as a translator in the administration of then-president Hugo Chávez.
