A San Mateo County supervisor behind the effort to hold a special election to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus from office has planned a press conference for Thursday to update the public on the scathing allegations against the embattled sheriff. On Tuesday, the board of supervisors unanimously approved a proposal to place a measure on the March ballot asking voters to amend the county charter to allow the board to remove a sheriff with cause with a four-fifths vote.
Mueller called on the board to act quickly, saying "the case against the sheriff continues to get stronger."

The pressure has been mounting for the sheriff to resign.On Monday, a group of lawmakers in the South Bay issued a collective statement calling for her to quit.
