Incumbent Sheriff

Alex Villanueva



Incumbent Sheriff Alex Villanueva is running for re-election to a second four-year term.[25] He was first elected in 2018, defeating incumbent Jim McDonnell with 52.8% of the vote. Villanueva has been a controversial figure since then, including his refusal to enforce vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic in California,[26] as well as investigations regarding unconstitutional policing, obstruction of evidence, and the persistence of deputy gangs.[27][28][29] However, he is also credited with reforms in the department, including the implementation of body cameras and the removal of ICE agents from county jails.[30][31]
