BREAKING L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva concedes to former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna in electoral race: 'I want to wish the incoming sheriff well'
Former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna again stretched his lead Monday as vote-counting continued in his bid to unseat incumbent Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva on Tuesday afternoon conceded to former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna in Luna's bid to succeed him as head of one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the U.S.
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's Office, Luna had a lead of 324,837 votes, up from 259,184 when the last update was released on Saturday. The sheriff expressed confidence, however, that he would make up the deficit from early balloting as vote counting continued over the coming week. Villanueva's victory four years ago came with strong backing from reform-minded community groups and Democrats. But over the past four years, Villanueva's support among those groups has waned as he repeatedly clashed with the Democrat-dominated Board of Supervisors over funding and policy matters.
