Mayor Todd Gloria’s nomination of the former sheriff last month generated immediate backlash from criminal justice reform advocates and family members of people who died in jail
More than a month after being nominated by Mayor Todd Gloria to serve on the San Diego Ethics Commission, former Sheriff Bill Gore has withdrawn his nomination in the face of overwhelming opposition. Gloria’s staff announced the withdrawal in a memo released late Monday — hours before the city council was scheduled to formally consider the recommendation. The council will move forward with debate over a second nominee, Deval Zaveri, a former Navy lawyer who now works in private practice.
Gore has a 51-year career in law enforcement, which includes more than 12 years as sheriff of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department,” the mayor’s September statement said. “I thank him for his willingness to serve in this capacity.” Gore stepped down as county sheriff in early 2022, the same day the California State Auditor released a report finding that conditions in San Diego County jails were so dangerous that new legislation was needed to impose reforms.
