Here in Simi Valley our police chief stays neutral during partisan campaigns as far as I remember. Am I wrong? I think I like it this way. I do think they should speak out about issues, policies, and the like but there is something to be said for neutrality. I haven't thought of the ramifications or issues involved much on this and I am open to your arguments. Should police chiefs endorse candidates?
I guess if it was an occasional campaign, something that is really important, I get it.
What important endorsements are left in the district?
Besides Mickey Jones of course. Hannah-Beth Jackson should reach out to him soon. If she got that endorsement I would be impressed.
Any word on what issues are important to him?
Greg Totten wrote a nice letter in support of Jackson's criminal policy changes. He talks about her being a great advocate for crime victimes and law endorsement on the most recent mailer I received.
I have to say it doesn't make sense that Ventura County Public Safety personnel wouldn't support a District Attorney. Many of these positions are elected and we are a blue county now. Why would a Republican elected official alienate half of his voting base?
