Alex Villanueva

 Elected Sheriff

Robert Luna

Incumbent Sheriff Alex Villanueva ran for re-election to a second four-year term.[4] 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,[5] as well as investigations regarding unconstitutional policing, obstruction of evidence, and the persistence of deputy gangs.[6][7][8] 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.[9][10]
