Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert Reportedly Considering Run For California Attorney General

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert will make a major announcement Monday about her future in the state.

Schubert is reportedly considering running for California Attorney General in 2022, potentially against Democrat Rob Bonta who was sworn in Friday as the state's first Filipino attorney general.

"She's actively exploring it at the moment," said Dave Gilliard, a consultant to Schubert, who added, "all the T's are being crossed and I's are being dotted."

Bonta takes over the role after former Attorney General Xavier Becerra was chosen by President Joe Biden to be the first person of Latino descent to head the U.S. Health and Human Services Department.

Bonta was nominated by Gov. Gavin Newsom for the role and is already getting ready to run to hold onto his seat.

Schubert was elected as district attorney in 2014 and has nearly three decades of law enforcement experience.
