In 2014, Pamela ran an inspiring campaign for the California State Assembly. In 2016, she was elected to the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee with the highest number of votes ever for that position. As the top vote-getter, she swept a field of 16 candidates, running on her own against the unofficial slate which included nine (9) incumbents. Pamela is currently serving her second term on the Committee.

In 2018, Pamela ran an impressive campaign for Alameda County District Attorney, shocking the political establishment with the level of support she received on a platform of criminal justice reform. In 2022, Pamela was elected to serve as District Attorney, with 53% of the votes cast. Pamela is the first non-appointed, non-anointed District Attorney in 100 years in Alameda County, the first Black woman and the first foster child elected to this seat.
