Singer John Legend campaigns nationwide for slew of Democrat district attorneys
Singer and entertainer John Legend is campaigning for Democratic district attorneys across the country.
Legend has released endorsements for a wide range of Democrats up for election or re-election as district attorney. Beginning with a series of posts on social media, Legend threw his weight behind district attorney hopefuls in Tennessee, North Carolina, Oregon and California.
"District Attorney elections are crucial to improving our criminal legal system and 2022 is a year with thousands of races," Legend wrote.
Legend paid particular attention to San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Legend reportedly lives in Beverly Hills. Boudin is going into a recall election in June after an unprecedented spike in crime, making Legend's endorsement controversial.
"In San Francisco, CA, Chesa Boudin is fighting a recall. I endorsed Chesa for DA when he ran for election, and I support him now," Legend wrote.

And just for the reminder...
Boudin was born in New York City to Jewish parents.[6] His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members. When Boudin was 14 months old, both were arrested and convicted of murder [7] for their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink's robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York.[6][8] His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life[9] and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.[10]
After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.[11] Boudin reports that he did not learn to read until age 9.[12]
