- My Commitment to the People of San Diego
-
I have set out 10 commitments to the people of San Diego designed to bring integrity and professionalism to the city attorney's office.
- Criminal Coordination Plan
-
Judge Goldsmith and DA Dumanis have proposed a plan to improve coordination. The DA's office and City Attorney's office share criminal prosecution in the City, but the City Attorney refuses to coordinate. This needs to be corrected.
