San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus faces increasing scrutiny and potential removal from office after controversial decisions, including rehiring her alleged romantic partner, Victor Aenlle. Previously fired for being unqualified for a high-paying role, Aenlle's new appointment as a volunteer reserve deputy sparked further outrage. Despite voters granting supervisors power to remove Corpus, she defends her actions, stating her authority to assign deputies as needed. This decision, alongside questionable past spending, reflects poorly on Corpus during a tumultuous period for her leadership.
Corpus stated, "As Sheriff, I have the authority to assign reserve deputies to work anywhere there is a need," justifying her decision to rehire Aenlle.
The County's voters overwhelmingly supported the authority to remove Sheriff Corpus, making her rehiring of Aenlle a controversial move amid ongoing scrutiny.
