"content": "\u003cp>A tumultuous week has put a new face in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office — and the race for the seat into the spotlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks, the four San Franciscans running for the office have duked out their differences on debate stages as they tried to engage voters in an off-year election. Now, they may have a more interested audience: The race has changed significantly in recent days, and activists across the country are taking note.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was supposed to be the first time in a century that the race was open in San Francisco, with no incumbent in office. It was upended last week when District Attorney George Gascón announced he would step down on Oct. 18, nearly three months early, and weeks before Election Day. Gascón said last year that he wouldn't run for reelection but had been expected to serve out his term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]The four district attorney hopefuls agree on many issues. Their differences lie in their experience and approach to the job.[/pullquote]On Friday, Mayor London Breed appointed the candidate she endorsed as interim DA, former prosecutor Suzy Loftus, to replace Gascón. The surprise announcement sparked a backlash from other candidates and their supporters.
