In a special election in San Mateo County, voters considered Measure A, granting the Board of Supervisors the authority to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus amid allegations of corruption and misconduct. Despite calls for her resignation, Corpus has remained in office, dismissing the investigation into her actions as biased. Opinions among voters varied; some supported Measure A as a necessary action, while others opposed it, believing elected officials should be removed by voters only. The measure is time-sensitive, expiring in 2028, and expresses the urgency surrounding the sheriff's situation.
"It seems like a matter of urgency to deal with this really bad situation in the sheriff's office," said Penny Durham, expressing concerns over Sheriff Corpus's conduct.
"I think that if the sheriff had done something that was illegal, unlawful, then maybe, but I feel voters should decide," said Francisco Salguero on Measure A.
