Candidate for Governor Sheriff Chad Bianco will be fundraising in Carmichael tomorrow, and local activists are planning an appropriate reception for him! You may recall that Bianco was recently in the news for seizing election ballots in Riverside County, hoping to show some kind problems with the outcome of the Prop 50 special election last November.

"The investigation and recount are on hold, Bianco said earlier this week, after Bonta and the UCLA Voting Rights Project filed several legal challenges seeking to halt them. Bonta had ordered Bianco to turn over the warrants and supporting statements. He said in his lawsuits that the sheriff had failed to allege a crime or provide enough cause to justify seizing the ballots, and accused Bianco of using the investigation as a campaign stunt. Bonta’s office has refused to release those documents, citing the judge’s order sealing them."

In addition, he's widely seen as the worst Sheriff in the state, with a terrible crime-solving record, and increasing violence and deaths in his prisons: https://www.cjcj.org/reports-publications/fact-sheet/the-sheriff-with-californias-worst-crime-solving-record-is-running-for-governor

Thanks to everyone who came out and made this an amazing event today!! It looked like all of the booths/organizations were getting a lot of interest from folks, and hopefully we'll have a lot of new people volunteering soon!

Many of the organizers/volunteers will be meeting at Oak Park Brewing tomorrow around 2pm to debrief, and talk about what happens next. Please join us if you're interested!
