In a rare Sunday night news conference, San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus told reporters she sent a letter to the board of supervisors accusing the county executive of retaliation, abuse of power, sexual discrimination and bullying.
Corpus said County Executive Mike Callagy's overreaching behavior began shortly after she was elected in 2022, and she called for an investigation by the supervisors of his behavior. "During that meeting he made an inappropriate and offensive request, ordering me to inform him who I dated within the county and when," Corpus said. "It was a request I found demeaning and discriminatory, a woman of color who has endured sexual harrassment in this very county.
Retired Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge LaDoris Cordell is investigating those complaints against the sheriff. However, at her news conference, Corpus blamed Callagy for this "departmental friction." "The burden of the current situation with the unions is directly attributed to Mr. Callagy's continued backdoor interference," she said. "The board needs to take immediate action to address the inappropriate and subversive campaign to influence my office.
