Delgadillo won’t run for D.A.
- Share via
City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo, who will be forced out of office by term limits next year, has decided not to run for district attorney in the June 3 local election, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Today is the deadline for candidates to turn in signatures to run for the post, which is occupied by Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley. Cooley is running for another four-year term.
Two years ago, Delgadillo pursued an unsuccessful bid for state attorney general, losing to former Gov. Jerry Brown in the race for the Democratic nomination. He ran into political trouble last year after The Times reported that his wife damaged a city vehicle while driving on a suspended license.
