Will it be controversial Sheriff Alex Villanueva or challenger Robert Luna in Nov. 8 race for LA County sheriff?
Los Angeles County voters head to the polls today, Tuesday Nov. 8, to decide who will be Los Angeles County sheriff.
Today is the last day to cast ballots for the 2022 general election. Polls close at 8 p.m., with the early results — composed of vote-by-mail ballots that arrived before Election Day — expected to be released soon after that.Sheriff Alex Villanueva or his challenger Robert Luna , the former Long Beach police chief, will lead the largest sheriff’s department in the U.S., providing law enforcement for more than 10 million people. The sheriff manages 18,000 employees who serve 141 unincorporated communities and 42 contract cities. His department also oversees the jails and staffs patrols of bus and train depots for L.A. County Metro.
Luna, who came in a close second in the June primary, said he welcomes collaboration from the Board of Supervisors, other county departments and academicians. Villanueva beat incumbent Sheriff Jim McDonnell in 2018, making him the first candidate to beat an incumbent L.A. County sheriff in 100 years. Retiring from the Sheriff’s Department after 32 years, Villanueva ran as a progressive. But he soon moved to the right and has had a contentious relationship with the mostly Democratic L.A. County Board of Supervisors who hold sway over his budget.which would give them the unusual power to unseat an elected sheriff.
