Editor,
I met Christina Corpus before she announced her run for sheriff. In my capacity as a community leader, I wanted to learn about some of the programs of the Sheriff Activities League.
Immediately I was struck by her approachability and her genuine care for social issues. When she announced she was running, I was ecstatic. This is the kind of sheriff our county needs. Too often when trying to engage in conversations about law enforcement practices, I have been met with immediate defensiveness rather than a listening ear that seeks to understand. I have approached Christina Corpus personally with feedback, and the response I got was receptiveness. This is the kind of sheriff we need to start bridging the deep divide between officers and public opinion.
Christina brings over two decades of experience in law enforcement, a track record as a respected leader who has rapidly risen through the ranks in the Sheriff’s Office and an incredible work ethic and tenacity. I have watched her during this campaign and she has fought relentlessly and with incredible grace even when unfairly dragged through the mud. She is a role model for me, for my daughter, for all women and men who have ever tried to reach for a dream that seemed impossible at first. I am so inspired by her very run and can’t wait until we elect her as the first Latina sheriff in the state of California.

Aisha, let’s contrast Corpus’ 2 decades of experience vs. Bolanos’ 4 decades of experience. Let’s contrast Corpus’ less than a year of leadership experience as police chief vs. Bolanos’ over 6 years of leadership experience as Sheriff, keeping our county one of the safest in our region. The bottom line is whether you want to keep our county one of the safest, or whether you hope a new Sheriff can keep our county one of the safest, even after inheriting the great job being performed by our current Sheriff Bolanos.
“A Sheriff we can Trust.” Okay, I’ve seen this slogan, not only as the title for this LTE, but also proudly displayed on Corpus’ lawn signs. Will someone please tell the listening audience what is it about Bolanos which labels him as untrustworthy?
To the author of this LTE. Your comments are like the sea foam in the Pacific or Indian Ocean: they may get some attention, but soon will dissipate.
