Placer County Sheriff accused of using private information to help candidate

The offices up for grabs in California's 2022 elections include Placer County Sheriff, and the person currently holding that position is accused of using private information to get votes for one of the candidates. The two candidates vying to be the new sheriff are current Undersheriff Wayne Woo and current administrative sergeant Brandon Bean. KCRA 3 confirmed with Woo’s campaign that a letter was sent in March from Sheriff Devon Bell specifically to concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit holders in Placer County. The letter reads in part: “Wayne has assured me we will enjoy the same CCW policy and I’m asking all of you for your support of Wayne.”
