As a special election approaches in San Mateo County, cities are endorsing a measure that would empower the Board of Supervisors to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus, who faces allegations of misconduct. The measure, if approved, would grant unprecedented temporary authority to the board. With mounting pressure and resolutions of no confidence from several cities, Corpus continues to deny the allegations and criticizes local leaders for political maneuvering. Even if voters reject the measure, she may still face a civil grand jury investigation or recall efforts before her term ends in 2028.
Even if the measure fails, Corpus could still face other removal efforts, including a civil grand jury investigation or a recall election. Her term as sheriff ends in 2028.
When city leaders shift their focus from their municipal responsibilities to engage in political rhetoric against the Sheriff's Office, they undermine the integrity of our democratic process.
