San Mateo County Leaders Urge Vote on Measure A to Remove Sheriff Corpus

Local leaders in San Mateo County are rallying support for Measure A, a ballot initiative that would empower the Board of Supervisors to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus amid a backdrop of serious allegations against her, including abuse of power and misconduct. Mayor Elmer Martinez Saballos and other officials voiced their concerns about the risks posed to the community and law enforcement under Corpus' leadership, citing a 400-page investigation that revealed a culture of intimidation and discrimination within her office. The push for Corpus' removal is part of a broader response to her refusal to resign, leading to a special election on March 4 where voters will decide on the measure. Proponents argue that Measure A is essential for restoring accountability within the Sheriff's Office. The San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff's Association has also actively endorsed the measure, stressing the need for integrity in leadership. As the election date approaches, the community is urged to engage in this pivotal decision regarding their law enforcement leadership.
