Eight challengers are vying to unseat LA County's sheriff. Here are the candidates. Decision2022
Robert Luna, Retired Long Beach Police Chief
Luna, the former police chief in Long Beach, said bringing the crime spike under control is a big priority. He said working to build relationships with residents and business owners on how deputies are addressing crimes is important. He said that law enforcers need to go back to a sensible way of doing business by putting the right people in jail and making sure repeat offenders are held accountable. He said the public needs to have a sheriff who communicates and works well with others.
Rodriguez is a 32-year veteran of law enforcement and spent 25 years with the Sheriff's Department. He recently served as interim police chief in the city of Santa Paula and the director of public safety for Metrolink. He is a former friend of Villanueva and worked alongside the Sheriff beginning in 1998, but did not support Villanueva for Sheriff in the last election, saying he was not qualified.
