Statement: “To underscore the unbiased and transparent mission of this office, I am announcing today that I will no longer personally endorse political candidates except in unusual circumstances,” District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said at a 2007 press conference.
Analysis: Dumanis made the announcement when unveiling her new Public Integrity Unit and declared that she wouldn’t allow her office to be used as a political pawn. However, in response to a reporter’s question at her press conference, she threw in a caveat: That she would endorse in special circumstances and in races impacting public safety. That’s a pretty big caveat.
