In today’s episode, I’m talking with Sacramento District Attorney, Anne Marie Schubert, the first openly lesbian woman running for Attorney General of California. The job was formerly held by Vice President, Kamala Harris.
Her platform: Justice for Victims
She describes herself as a ‘tough-on-crime candidate’ who, in recent years, has helped put the Golden State Killer behind bars, and has been a leading force in the pursuit of justice through DNA evidence and cold-case prosecution.
In 2002, she formed the Cold Case Prosecution Unit and served as its first prosecutor.
While Anne Marie Schubert may be best known for the successful investigation, arrest, and conviction of the Golden State Killer, she has made a career of protecting kids from sexual predators and human trafficking and making sure violent criminals are held accountable for their crimes.
As District Attorney of Sacramento, Anne Marie Schubert has successfully put some of the state’s most notorious and violent criminals behind bars, including murderers, rapists and child molesters. She has aggressively prosecuted major corporations for practices that harm the environment and has worked to get illegal firearms off the streets.
If elected, Schubert, 57, would be the first openly gay state attorney general. She is the co-parent of two teenage boys who she loves dearly.
Even more significantly, Schubert is the rare political candidate vying for a major statewide office who is neither Republican nor Democrat but is running as an Independent.
Join us for an open, candid discussion of one woman’s powerful vision of justice for victims of child sexual abuse and sexual violence now running for Attorney General in California. She’s a SHEroe and justice warrior.
