Tuesday, Deputy District Attorney Richard Ceballos withdrew his candidacy for L.A. County District Attorney.  In response, Rachel Rossi issued the following statement:

“I wish Richard Ceballos all the best as he made a difficult choice to end his race for Los Angeles County District Attorney.  Richard was the first candidate to take a stand and challenge the status quo in our District Attorney’s Office eight months ago.  I am grateful for his fight in this race and for his career in fighting for reform. I know this won’t be the last we hear from him.”
