District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is one of the most popular citywide elected officials in San Francisco, having just won reelection with 65% of the vote.

Adam and Tom interview DA Jenkins on her work, what's next for public safety in San Francisco, and what California Democrats can learn from her approach to win back voter trust on public safety.

Even as President Trump's approval ratings plummet, Democrats still have work to do to rebuild trust with voters that we can be trusted with the issues that matter most to voters like cost of living and immigration.

In this episode, we're doing a deep dive on Lurie's moves so far, his communication strategy, and how Democrats can win back voters' trust and repair the Democratic Party's toxic brand.
