LOS ANGELES -- In less than two weeks, we should know how much support Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva still has after three-and-a-half years on the job and a multitude of controversies and constant fighting with the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, who oversees the department's budget of $3.5 billion.
"Every single thing I campaigned on, I accomplished," he said."So, them trying to paint me somehow as a born-again conservative, the facts don't bear out. I'm going to do things based on what's right for public safety outside of partisan labels." "In law enforcement, people are supposed to look at us at the people who not only enforce the law, but we listen and cooperate with for example, oversight, subpoenas," said Luna."If I get subpoenaed, I need to comply with that, just like every community member in L.A. County does, and for some reason, [Villanueva] stands up there and thinks he's beyond the law. This is not about us as individuals. It is about the people we serve, and we have to come up with solutions.
"When this sheriff was elected, I volunteered to take on this issue because I recognize that as long as we have secret societies, cliques, gangs, station tattoos operating within the sheriff's department, we will not be able to take step one in regaining the public's trust," said Vera.

Anyone but corrupt Villanueva.
I would vote for Villanueva. Seems these candidates would be yes persons to the city council, especially Luna
Voting for the only guy that wants to police and is not letting Pro-Crime politicians stop him. Alex Villanueva ✅
