It's been an eventful week for Republican San Diego County Sheriff candidate John Hemmerling. He lost a big endorsement and stepped down from his job in the City Attorney's Office.

“The Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance the other day in the county that redefined what a woman is, where it included men,” Hemmerling said.Hemmerling went on to say that the supervisors endorsed other candidates in the Sheriff’s race and that the supervisors have an agenda.

“They’re going to be asking them to enforce that out here, allow those men to go to the women’s bathrooms,” he said.“I apologize to those who took my comments to imply criticism of anyone based on their sex or gender identity,” he wrote. “My sole intent was to express concern about the overbroad nature of the Board of Supervisors' recent ordinance that defines women. It's neither safe nor fair, nor does it provide equality.

The City Attorney’s Office would not comment on the circumstances surrounding Hemmerling’s departure.
