A San Mateo County judge ruled that Sheriff Christina Corpus' request to halt Measure A's election for her potential removal was denied. Corpus' legal team argued that the vote should occur in November 2026 instead of March 4, claiming that the law applies only to city charters. Retired Judge LaDoris Cordell’s report, which led to the measure's introduction, outlined serious allegations against Corpus, including nepotism and abuse of power. If approved, Measure A could expedite her removal from office but requires appropriate procedures to be followed.
Judge Nicole Healy ruled that the law cited by Sheriff Corpus’ attorneys only applies to city charter amendments, allowing Measure A to go forward.
Retired Judge LaDoris Cordell stated in her report that "nothing short of new leadership can save this organization that is in turmoil," underscoring the severity of the issues within the sheriff's office.
