Chesa Boudin, the son of anti-war radicals sent to
prison for murder when he was a toddler, has won San Francisco's tightly contested race for district attorney after campaigning to reform the criminal justice system.
The former deputy public defender declared victory Saturday night after four days of ballot counting determined he was ahead of interim District Attorney Suzy Loftus.
The latest results from the San Francisco Department of Elections gave Boudin a lead of 8,465 votes.
