Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price has been on the job for six months now.
NBC Bay Area’s Gia Vang sat down with Price on Sunday.
Price says she gives herself and her team an “A” for their efforts so far. She said it wasn’t easy walking into an office that she considers understaffed.
Price added that in her first six months, her team has hired 80 people and brought back the Family Justice Center.

But a portion of community is giving Price a much lower grade, accusing her of being soft on crime by declining to file charges in some cases and reducing charges in others.
One group has launched a recall effort against Price. She spoke on camera about the recall effort for the first time Sunday, calling those behind it “election deniers.”
