Will L.A. County's sheriff run for reelection in 2026? 'Absolutely,' Robert Luna says
Days after the general election that marked the midway point of his term as Los Angeles County sheriff, Robert Luna says he “absolutely” plans to run for office again in 2026.
Luna issued a short statement Sunday amid rumors that he planned to step down due to alleged medical issues.
“Not true,” he told The Times. “No health issues. I will absolutely be running for re-election.”
The little-known former Long Beach police chief came out of retirement to run for sheriff two years ago, positioning himself as the calm antidote to what he once described as the “dysfunction and chaos” of his predecessor, Alex Villanueva.
