In a statement, Truong declared his innocence, stating, 'As a police sergeant I always had faith in the criminal justice system... I want to thank my friends and family... who stood by me and most of all my neighbors and supporters in District 8 who never wavered in their support for our campaign for safer streets, to end street homelessness, and to make City Hall work better for all of us.'
Despite the recent charges and loss of endorsements, Truong insists he is running a campaign fueled by support from his community, continuing to emphasize his commitment to public safety and the issues facing District 8.
The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters office confirmed that the election process is unaffected by Truong's legal issues, with Public Information Officer Evelyn Mendez stating, 'The election still happens, we still certify and there's a winner... the ballots still count and we still certify the election as is with the ballots that already went out.'
Truong's situation illustrates the complex intersection of legal challenges and local electoral politics, where candidates must navigate both public support and judicial scrutiny.
