The supervisors plan to winnow down a list of 15 candidates to no more than five during a special public meeting Thursday, before residents get a chance to hear from the finalists on Jan. 21.

Six past or present Alameda County prosecutors and Alameda's city attorney have been selected as finalists for the vacant Alameda County district attorney role following the recall of Pamela Price. All seven finalists are set to be interviewed by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in what is expected to be an hours-long public meeting Tuesday.
