Am I the only one struggling with the similarity in the names of the two candidates? I am leaning toward Bob Jonsen, but struggle reading positions since their names confuse me!

Why is Bob Jonsen the first person to report a text from Christine Nagaye about Kevin Jensen? Why is Christine Nagaye and Bob Jonsen in contact at all? Do they have a quod pro quo? How does that work?

Novelera,

Just curious why you are leaning toward Jonsen? Yes their names are very similar but are completely different candidates. One is very politically driven then other is looking to make real change.

There’s a reason Bob Jonsen was so quickly replaced at PAPD when he decided to run for sheriff. PAPD didn’t want him back if he lost. There’s a reason so many PAPD officers left for other departments. Those numbers are a small fraction compared to the number of sheriff officers that have left. Over 45 officers have left the sheriff’s office in the last two years, due to the current administration. The sheriff officers have been begging the public for help with a change for over 15 years. They need help with a complete cultural change, not more of the same. They need Kevin Jensen.
