Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton

West County Friends for Diana Becton hosted a fundraiser on Saturday for the re-election campaign of Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton. Attending the fundraiser at Lara’s Fine Dining in the Richmond Marin were elected, business, and community leaders from El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, and San Pablo.

Legislative staffer Uche J. Uwahemu introduced Becton at the fundraiser. “This lady has power. Yet she is still down to earth. She works for the people,” he said.

Becton said this election is going to be a fight, and she will be ready. She went on to list three pages of accomplishments, including diversion programs for youth, interventions for drug offenders and special operations to get the most dangerous criminals off the street. She ended by leading attendees in the chant “Fired Up, Ready to Go.” 

Real estate broker Joe L. Fisher was the lead fundraiser. “We raised over $10,000.00 in 10 minutes. I want to thank everyone who helped make this fundraiser a great success,” said Fisher.

Becton is the first African American and first female to serve as district attorney for Contra Costa County. Supporters can donate to Becton’s re-election campaign online at https://www.dianabecton.com.

The West County Friends for Diana Becton are East Bay MUD Director Lesa McIntosh; real estate broker Joe L. Fisher; businessman Jake Sloan, Richmond Chamber of Commerce, legislative staffer Uche J. Uwahemu; El Cerrito Mayor Pro Tem Gabriel Quinto; political consultant Eric Zell; and Attorney Mister Phillips.
