"Mueller and the other four members of the Board of Supervisors have said they intend to fire Corpus after receiving reports saying the sheriff allegedly hired her boyfriend for a top management position, and dealt with her employees through intimidation and retaliation. Jimenez says he will support Corpus if elected. It's possible that Corpus could be removed before next year's election when Jimenez and Mueller will face off."
"Jimenez said he doesn't agree with how Mueller has handled the removal of the sheriff. Jimenez said he endorsed Mueller when he was running for supervisor because he thought Mueller was going to do something positive for the community. But he said he was wrong. "I'm running because democracy matters and it's unfortunate that the county is not showing it," Jimenez said."
Joaquin Jimenez, former Half Moon Bay mayor and supporter of Sheriff Christina Corpus, announced a campaign against San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller. Jimenez lost his 2024 city council seat to Paul Nagengast, receiving 551 votes to Nagengast's 777. The Board of Supervisors has signaled intent to fire Sheriff Corpus amid reports alleging she hired her boyfriend for a top management position and used intimidation and retaliation with employees. The civil grand jury filed four accusations that could lead to removal, and the board awaits a hearing officer's report before voting. Jimenez opposes Mueller's actions, supports Corpus, and criticizes perceived neglect of the coastside and low-income communities.
