99% votes counted and I’m humbled by all the support. Kevin Jensen and I provided two strong choices as we stayed focused on the most pressing issues facing the Sheriff’s Office. It’s time to start moving forward, and I’m excited to lead @SCCoSheriff into the future. đŸ™đŸ»

Enforcing Red Flag laws, and seeking Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVRO) whenever applicable, will be a top priority of mine! . We can do better, we must do better - every one deserves to feel safe, and in fact be safe, from gun violence! @MomsDemand @Everytown @shannonrwatts.

Red Flag laws work when they are used. States with stronger gun laws have lower gun death rates. Colorado has strong gun laws, but Colorado Springs considers itself a "Second Amendment Sanctuary" and has a sheriff who is openly hostile to Red Flag laws.

Once an extremely rare event, mass killings unfortunately have become so common it’s hard to determine if any safe spaces remain for people to congregate without a fear of violence. It’s tragic and disheartening! . My thoughts are with all impacted by this senseless violence. đŸ™đŸ».

Heartbreaking to hear. This is the same routine we jogged when I was in the Academy 36 years ago. My thoughts are with all of the recruits injured in this morning’s run, and my hope for a full recovery for all involved. đŸ™đŸ».⁊@LASDHQ⁩ .

Gun safety is no longer a third rail of American politics. In fact, it is a priority issue for millions of voters across the country. If keeping our communities safe from gun violence is a priority for you, be a Gun Sense Voter. Find Gun Sense Candidates:

When you vote for Sheriff, ask yourself which candidate has led an agency through history’s most recent challenges - once in a century pandemic; major budget reductions; staffing challenges; police reform? . There is only one (JONSEN) and experience matters! 🗳#SantaClaraCounty

Can’t argue with this Letter 🙌 . There’s still numerous issues to address within the Sheriff’s Office, and to get it out from this constant cloud of controversy voters need to elect a sheriff untethered to the organization. Letters: Jonsen for Sheriff

Voters will now decide whether the Sheriff’s Office will be led by a retired captain from the organization, or someone who can bring a completely fresh perspective (me 😉). It’s been shrouded in scandals for decades and it’s time to start moving forward. #GOTV🗳.

Just days after former Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith retired, she was found guilty of six civil counts of corruption and willful conduct.

Every time a negative mailer arrives, the wise words of @MichelleObama ring in my ears -“When they go low, we go high.”. Misleading as they’ve been, I stay committed to what needs to be done to reform the Sheriff’s Office. Jensen can stay committed to misleading voters! #GOTV2022

ABC7 covered the Sheriff’s race, highlighting the fact it’s been 24 years since Santa Clara County elected a new sheriff- framing the classic “Insider vs Outsider”comparison. Your vote will determine the future for the organization - Vote for CHANGE! 🗳 .
