Overview

• Sheriff Christina Corpus reassigned Victor Aenlle, her alleged romantic partner, to process concealed-carry permit applications despite prior controversies and union objections.
• An independent audit by retired Judge LaDoris Cordell substantiated allegations of misconduct, including fostering a culture of intimidation and favoritism toward Aenlle.
• San Mateo County voters recently passed a charter amendment granting the Board of Supervisors the authority to remove the sheriff with a four-fifths vote.
• Corpus has denied all allegations, including claims of a romantic relationship with Aenlle, and has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the county alleging discrimination.
• The Board of Supervisors is preparing for a public meeting to deliberate Corpus's potential removal, which would require a procedural vote and her response.
