Background and Context

Jenkins has been a polarizing figure since taking office, and any unscripted public appearance is closely watched. In 2025, the State Bar directed her into a diversion program over ethics complaints, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Her handling of high-profile incidents, most notably the 2023 Walgreens killing of Banko Brown that ignited demands for evidence and transparency around charging decisions, has also drawn scrutiny, according to reporting by KQED.
