Five Congressional and state leaders from San Mateo County on Monday called upon embattled Sheriff Christina Corpus to resign, saying her continued tenure impacts public safety.

San Mateo County supervisors on Tuesday are expected to tighten the screws on Sheriff Christina Corpus and their attempts to get her to resign.

Sherrif Christina Corpus, who holds the distinction of being the first woman to lead the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office since its establishment, finds herself at the center of a growing controversy.

The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Tuesday called on Sheriff Christina Corpus to resign based on recommendations of an independent investigation into allegations of abuse of power in her department.

The departures come three days after a scathing report was released that contains seven "sustained findings" against Sheriff Christina Corpus.

“As elected leaders in San Mateo County, we are collectively calling for the resignation of Christina Corpus as Sheriff of San Mateo County,” the statement reads. “The turmoil engulfing the Sheriff’s Office continues to damage the organization and its members, jeopardize public safety, and expose local taxpayers to avoidable liabilities.”

San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus is coming out in the strongest way possible to say the accusations of her having an intimate relationship with a staffer is not true.
