direction anytime soon - he's headed to Los Angeles
Just a year ago, Gascon announced he would not seek re-election this year, citing his 90-year-old mother’s failing health at the time and a desire to be there for her.
Gascon is the first Latino to be San Francisco’s district attorney.
Prior to becoming district attorney, Gascon served as the city’s police chief. He has also served as the police chief for Mesa, Arizona, and as assistant chief in the Los Angeles Police Department.
