—The East Bay Insiders Human Resources Department takes a look at the 15 applicants to replace recalled Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price.

Today’s newsletter is focused on breaking down the list of prospective DA candidates by their professional background and likelihood of moving forward next week to the interview portion of the appointment process.

There’s quite a few solid candidates for the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to choose.

Following Price’s controversial two-run as DA, there was a singular thread that ran through the applicant’s case for the appointment.

It’s time to rebuild the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, said a majority of the applicants. A few urged for continuing Price’s criminal justice reform policies.

Nine of the 15 applicants have worked or are currently employed at the Alameda County DA’s Office.

• SAFE, the group that successfully recalled Price last November, is endorsing three applicants to replace Price.

• Former DA Price reemerged from her post-recall exile to weigh in on a murder case before the Alameda County Superior Court.
