announced last year that he would not seek re-election as the district attorney for Suffolk County, Massachusetts, which includes Boston and a few surrounding towns, five Democrats and an independent vied to replace him. Mr Conley endorsed Greg Henning, who worked for him for ten years. Mr Henning also received endorsements, and plenty of campaign contributions, from local police unions. Such support usually creates a glide-path to victory.
Mr Sanders, for example, wants to spend $14bn a year on public defence lawyers. That is an admirable idea, but one that a Republican-controlled Senate is unlikely to approve. Ms Warren wants to repeal most of the 1994 crime bill, which increased incarceration rates.

Repealing a federal bill will not change those state-level laws.
