Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, the lone representative of law and order in an otherwise “woke” local government, conceded Tuesday to establishment favorite Robert Luna, former police chief of Long Beach.
by some 20 points, after a campaign in which he was vilified by the media, often in racist terms. OneVillanueva, a Democrat, was elected in 2018 on promises of reform. He became more conservative over time, standing up to the Black Lives Matter movement and adopting a tough stance against a rising tide of crime.
The Board disliked him so much that they put a referendum on the ballot, Measure A, which allows them to fire any future sheriff. The voters passed it, effectively allowing the Suprevisors to nullify a democratic election.
