Two rank-and-file leaders of the campaign for Yes on Measure A, the San Mateo County ballot measure that would authorize the Board of Supervisors to fire Sheriff Christina Corpus, told The Game podcast that the ballot measure amounts to an “expedited recall.” Deputy Eliot Storch and Sgt. Sean Harper described a Sheriff’s Office in a crisis of leadership. “If this problem isn’t solved,” said Harper, “the problem is only going to get worse.”

Former Congresswoman Anna Eshoo joins Mark Simon and Bob Marks on this episode of The Game. Among her comments, she said the first weeks of the Trump administration have been a “horror show,” and laid out how she thinks Congressional Democrats should be responding to the disruption of the new presidency. “I miss not being in the fight, because I bring something to it,” she said.

Eshoo covered a wide range of topics, including local district elections and the need to rebuild the middle class.

On the podcast of The Game with Mark Simon and Bob Marks, Congressman Kevin Mullin (D-South San Francisco) said he supports the pending county charter amendment that would allow the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to fire Sheriff Christina Corpus, and he said she inevitably will be forced to leave office. Mullin said California Attorney General Rob Bonta can and should take steps to oust the controversial sheriff.

Mullin also weighed in on a range of national issues, including immigration and he predicted President-elect Donald Trump’s calls for mass deportations of illegal immigrants would fall short of his rhetoric.
