Dear Council,
I have a very close friend who reports to Cristina Corpus and is stressed out and traumatized working under her.
It’s as bad as the speakers reported to council on February 3rd.
So far it seems only the two cities that utilize County Sheriff for police services have taken a vote of No Confidence.
It’s sad for me because I worked on her campaign and had high hopes but the time has come to take action.

To City Council Members and Mayor New Newsom,
I'm writing as a San Mateo resident who wants to keep my voter rights. I'm not willing to give up my rights guaranteed in the constitution to 5 supervisors until 2029. Why are the supervisors trying to steal voter rights and attack our sheriff? I'm in favor of Sheriff Corpus and appreciate the courage and strength she has shown after these horrendous attacks against her. The private contractor report paid for by the all democrat board of supervisors is undemocratic and appears to be against the law. The supervisors are using taxpayer money to fund their election campaign to remove voter rights and attack Sheriff Corpus who hasn't committed any crimes. Nor has Sheriff Corpus been tried and able defend herself in a valid court of law. Ms.
Cordell was hired by the supervisors and so isn't an independent contractor and her report is lacking in that she hasn't named the people making the accusations. I don't know if these people exist or if they are trustworthy and have sworn over the bible to tell the truth or be charged will lying. I've written several investigative reports and reviewed many as a supervisor. This report doesn't appear to have any corroborating evidence to substantiate the claims that are mere slanderous and retaliatory against Sheriff Corpus.
I'm very disappointed in the elected officials in San Mateo county who have thrown the constituents to the side not honoring our votes and threatening to take away our voter power of the whole county to merely 5 people. This is something that I thought only happened in countries taken over by dictators and communists. But it's happening here in San Mateo county too. The democrat supervisors and their party line supporters are using county funds to promote their party line and to ruin the reputation of an good sheriff. Carlos Tapia was caught committing time card fraud and yet Supervisors Mueller and Corzo defend him. Just because DA Wagstaffe didn't choose to prosecute Tapia doesn't mean he's innocent. Just like the rapist who raped the woman in custody in December 2024 on video and in front of other inmates that Wagstaffe let go it doesn't mean they're not guilty.
I would like to feel represented as other constituents would like to feel that we have a system and a council that looks at hard facts not gossip and slander to make decisions.
I encourage you to give Sheriff Corpus a vote of confidence.
