Hislop says he’ll run Sheriff’s Office if elected
Humboldt County Sheriff candidate Mike Hislop wants to know who’s been running the department.
Hislop says his opponent, Undersheriff Mike Downey, is “leading people to believe that the Undersheriff actually runs the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and not the Sheriff.”
Hislop says he’ll do the job himself if elected.

Undersheriff Downey will assume second-in-command duties of the Sheriff’s Office, including overseeing all bureaus, division, and units within the agency.
Downey has endorsements by many county bigwigs, including Sheriff Philp who is set to retire after his current term expires. But Hislop bumper stickers are on full display near 7th and Broadway.
