Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a conservative firebrand known for law-and-order views and fierce criticism of Gov. Gavin Newsom, is considering a run for governor in 2026. Bianco, who was first elected as sheriff in 2018 following a decades-long career at the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, hasn't formally announced his candidacy. However, he told The Times in an interview Friday that he's discussing with his family a run for the state's top job.
'Everyone just wants to talk about what they want to talk about and avoid the disaster they're part of or that they have caused.' In 2021, Bianco grabbed headlines for vowing not to enforce vaccine mandates for Sheriff’s Department employees, saying he believes vaccination is a personal choice.
