| Collapse all
- California needs a real prosecutor to be Attorney General. That's me. I've worked for 30 years as a District Attorney, dedicating my life to keeping our communities safe. I'm not a politician - the politicians have given us this mess - I'm a prosecutor. I will bring accountability back to our criminal justice system.
- My passion for justice led me to be a national leader in pioneering the innovative use of DNA to solve crimes. That's how I led my office to identify and convict the Golden State Killer. Now, I want to bring that same passion to stop the chaos of crime and homelessness that infects communities throughout our state. Crime and drug use are rampant in the homeless population, and career politicians have failed to fix this crisis. We must compassionately ensure that the homeless are provided mental health services and drug rehabilitation, but also demand accountability from anyone who commits a crime.
- I will reverse the Attorney General Office's policy of supporting early prison release for violent perpetrators of hate crimes, sex crimes, human trafficking, domestic violence and gun crimes. Due to this, and my other priorities, the men and women of law enforcement overwhelmingly support me as their choice for Attorney General. They know I will relentlessly work for you to Stop the Chaos. I'd be honored to have your vote.
Homelessness
1. We must tackle rising violent crime by dedicating adequate resources to investigate and aggressively prosecute these criminals.
2. We must take illegal guns off the streets and out of the hands of felons and prohibited persons. This requires sufficient resources for law enforcement to proactively investigate these crimes. It also requires that we change the law to stop giving back guns to those who commit certain gun crimes such as bringing a gun to school or the state capitol.
3. We must amend California law to protect Californians from the early release of violent criminals. Under current law, felony domestic violence, drugging and raping an unconsious person, human trafficking of a child, and assault with a deadly weapon are NOT classified as “violent” crimes. As a result, these criminals are getting out early from prison after serving only a fraction of the sentence given by a judge.
Public safety is in chaos in California. As a result of a tsunami of bad public policies, bad laws and officials who won’t enforce good laws, we have rising violent crime, rampant theft, homelessness and drug addiction everywhere in California.
I have spent over 30 years as a prosecutor in California, protecting kids from sexual predators and human trafficking, and making sure violent criminals are held accountable for their crimes. I am an international expert in DNA/Cold Case investigations and prosecutions.

Noteworthy events
Investigation into the death of Stephon Clark
On March 2, 2019, Schubert announced that following an investigation into the officer-involved shooting death of local resident Stephon Clark, no charges would be brought against the officers. On March 18, 2018, two officers confronted Clark after responding to reports that an individual was breaking into car windows. The officers chased Clark into a backyard, where he began moving towards them while holding a cell phone. Schubert's report stated that the officers had acted in a lawful manner and out of fear for their lives, saying that they had reason to believe Clark was armed with a gun. The investigation led Schubert to "become the focus of Black Lives Matters protesters and others who wanted Officers Terrence Mercadel and Jared Robinet charged with murder," according to The Sacramento Bee.[2]
