Zev Yaroslavsky
LA County Supervisor (Ret.)
"District Attorney Jackie Lacey is one of the most visionary and effective reformers with whom I worked in my four-decade career of public service. She is a living example of how leadership can make the difference between success and failure. As one of California’s leading prosecutors, Ms. Lacey was one of the first to recognize that jails are not the best environment in which to rehabilitate mentally ill persons who find themselves in the criminal justice system. Her efforts to provide alternatives to incarceration for these individuals has proven successful. I worked closely with her to launch this program in the Van Nuys Courthouse in the San Fernando Valley, and it’s now a template that can be expanded throughout the county. Jackie Lacey is hard at work making her office a model for a 21st-century prosecutorial office. She has earned another term as L.A. County’s District Attorney, and I enthusiastically endorse her re-election."
