31 Oct D.A. Candidate Nathan Hochman Announces Major Advertising Push as Campaign Hits Stretch Run
LOS ANGELES / October 31, 2024 – Los Angeles County District Attorney candidate Nathan Hochman today announced that his campaign, supported by a record $2.511 million in fundraising for the general election, has significantly boosted his advertising as the campaign continues its push on TV, radio, digital and text messaging for the closing days of the general election.
The advertisements feature veteran deputy district attorneys, crime victims and public safety advocates detailing how the pro-criminal policies of incumbent George Gascon contributed to an increase in crime each year he’s been in office and left victims abandoned without an advocate in the courtroom or at parole hearings. As the next D.A., Hochman will strive every day to improve public safety and resume the role of the D.A. as champion for victims while implementing sensible prosecution policies.
“By smashing the prior fundraising record with over 5,000 individual contributions from across the political spectrum and from throughout the county, in amounts from $5 to $1,500, we have the resources to launch this significant media outreach to millions of L.A. County voters in the final days of the election,” Hochman said. “In these ads, voters will hear from stakeholders in the system – Gascon’s own prosecutors and family members of violent crime victims – about how the current D.A. has failed them, created a highly dysfunctional D.A.’s office, and endangered our public safety. They will also hear the message of hope, that someone like myself with 34 years’ criminal justice experience as a prosecutor and defense attorney, can restore public safety while implementing real and effective criminal justice reform.”
The advertising lineup includes:
Enough is Enough: Nathan Hochman for Los Angeles County District Attorney – Join Together
L.A. People Speak Out – Bishop Guillory
DDA Speaks Out – Eugene Miyata
Nathan Hochman on Gascon’s Homeless L.A.
Crime Victim Speaks Out – Guillermo Orellana

Recent polling confirms that Los Angeles County voters are fed up with Gascon’s pro-criminal policies, with Hochman holding a 30-point lead over Gascon. Voters have until this Tuesday, November 5 to cast their ballots – at an early voting center, at a ballot drop box, by mail or at their polling place on election day.
