[Jiangsu News] On October 2, San Francisco District Attorney Jascon announced that he would no longer run for the position of San Francisco District Attorney in 2019, hoping to leave more time with his family and will fully cooperate with the next district prosecutor's transition work.

Jascon said that in the past eight years of serving as a San Francisco district prosecutor, the people's trust in his leadership of criminal justice reform and public safety has always reminded him to serve the people humbly. He learned a lot from his job as San Francisco District Attorney Ma He Jinli. He Jinli's clever way of fighting crime has benefited him a lot. Over the past eight years, Jascon has worked hard to bring meaningful improvements and reforms to San Francisco and reduce crime in half while making continuous progress in reducing property crime. And set up a unit focused on using criminal data analysis to prevent crime cases - a criminal strategic agency, and an independent investigation department designed to help investigate and prosecute suspects of major criminal actions. In addition to these important crime campaigns, the nation’s first youth adult court is created, focusing on helping criminals aged 18 to 25 to change their lives. His leadership skills encourage many young people to join the Office of the District Attorney, prompting residents to find jobs and housing and improve their lives and communities.

Jascon believes that the work of the District Attorney is a huge responsibility. His experience in his eight years in office was that the district prosecutor needs to do the right things, not the popular things. To do well, you need to devote your time and energy seriously. Jascon said his family’s support allowed him to achieve many achievements as a district prosecutor. He specifically mentioned that his wife and mother always support him unconditionally and give very important encouragement.

So Jascon realized that he wanted to return to his family and stay with his family. He said: "My mother is 90 years old and I am her only child. I have the responsibility to take care of her by her side. I can no longer care about the campaign when she needs someone to take care of her. As her son, I have to fulfill this obligation. There is no acceptable alternative."

Jascon will complete the last year of his term, and then voters will choose a successor. He is honored to be a San Francisco District Attorney. Looking forward to completing his term and continuing to play a role in public services. At the same time, I hope and look forward to the next San Francisco resident's district prosecutor to continue to work hard and further promote the development of various services of the resident prosecutor's office on the basis of his current work. He will also fully cooperate with the transition work.
