(KRON) -- A list of 15 people who applied to become Alameda County's next district attorney was whittled down to seven on Thursday by the county board of supervisors. For the next round, the seven advancing finalists will be interviewed in public at Tuesday's board of supervisors meeting. Alameda County residents voted their last DA, Pamela Price, out of office with a recall in November of 2024. During her brief two-year tenure, Price was criticized for her progressive policies and plea deals. The office is being temporarily run by former chief assistant district attorney Royl Roberts, who was picked by Price. Roberts did not apply to take the job permanently. High-profile murder cases left unresolved under DA Price’s tenure Supervisor Nate Miley previously told KRON4 that the board will pick "someone who is a seasoned prosecutor because we need to make sure we have someone who has the experience and understands the role of a district attorney. You want to hold people accountable for their behaviors and their actions, particularly if they’re heinous." The seven finalists are: Ursula Jones Dickson, Alameda County Superior Court judge and former Alameda County deputy district attorney. Venus Johnson, chief deputy attorney general with the California Department of Justice, former director of Oakland’s Department of Public Safety, former legal and policy advisor to Kamala Harris when she was state attorney general, former chief assistant district attorney in Contra Costa County. Annie Esposito, Contra Costa County assistant district attorney, former senior assistant district attorney in Alameda County. Latricia Louis, deputy county council in Alameda County, former Alameda County assistant district attorney. Yibin Shen, Alameda city attorney Elgin Lowe, senior deputy district attorney in Alameda County Jimmie Wilson, deputy district attorney in Alameda County On January 28, the board will deliberate and select one of the final seven candidates. That person will take over the Alameda County District Attorney's Office by February 4.
