Measure A, a measure on the San Mateo County ballot, seeks to address alleged misconduct by Sheriff Christina Corpus, including abuse of power and discrimination. The measure allows voters to decide if they want to remove Corpus from office, emphasizing that it is temporary and set to expire in 2028. If approved, a process will commence to potentially remove her, allowing her to present her defense. Concerns have been raised about anonymous witnesses in misconduct reports affecting her ability to defend herself effectively.
If the voters approve Measure A, it will take about a month to begin the process to remove her. The county elections department needs to certify the vote.
She was given a chance in November when the supervisors were deciding whether to put Measure A on the ballot, but she didn't speak up in her own defense.
Measure A isn't a power grab because you, the voter, have control over whether you want to vote 'yes' or 'no.' And Measure A is temporary; it expires in 2028.
Anonymous witnesses: It's unclear to me how much of a right to 'discovery' she will have before she can make her case.
