San Francisco DA dragged for hiring friend with no law experience for high-paying job
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has come under fire and is facing accusations of nepotism after quietly promoting a close friend to be her chief of staff, making her the first person without a law degree to hold the position.
Jenkins hired Monifa Willis, a nursing professor at the University of California, San Francisco, in 2022 to run the District Attorney’s Office’s Victim Services Division before she was promoted in March.
While still raking in $100,000 from her teaching job, Willis makes an additional $300,000 a year as Jenkins’ chief of staff — something local politicians and former employees claim is blatant nepotism,according to the San Francisco Standard.
“She was given this position because she knew the DA,” a former Victim Services employee who worked under Willis told the Standard, adding that Willis had little knowledge of the law around victims’ rights.
It’s the first time in the agency’s history that the role has been occupied by someone who isn’t a lawyer, Fox News reported.
