With Yesenia Sanchez’s victory in the Alameda County sheriff’s race, the Bay Area appears poised to see two Latinas at the top of county law enforcement agencies — marking a first in California history after the upset victory of sheriff’s Captain Christina Corpus in San Mateo County last week.
The results speak “a lot for women and for Latina women — that we are a force to be reckoned with, and we did the unthinkable,” she said. Of Sanchez, she added, “I’m honored to share the seat with her and the title with her.” In the sheriff’s races, both candidates ran campaigns that hammered their bosses for policing practices that they decried as outmoded.
That Sanchez defeated the sheriff outright — staving off a November runoff, left Ahern supporter Nate Miley, an Alameda County Supervisor, “totally blown away.” But he conceded Ahern made several missteps that likely contributed to his defeat, including isolating himself from new opinions and doing a poor job of promoting his work to cut down on crime and recidivism.
