Sheriff Election — Amador County, California

The 2028 oval in Jackson — not the 2026 Governor, not Jackson Mississippi
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Amador County, California.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is not on the 2026 ballot. California moved sheriff and district attorney to the presidential table. The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Sacramento.
Jackson hires a Sheriff who still holds a 76-bed house
Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022): sheriff and district attorney with the presidential primary. A 2022 winner serves six years.
- Last regular: Tuesday, 7 June 2022. This county ran a November 2022 sheriff-coroner runoff when the primary did not finish the race.
- Next regular: the 2028 presidential primary. If no majority under §§ 8140–8141, runoff at the presidential general. Confirm the live 2028 date on the California SOS elections calendar.
- Take office: noon on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding election (Gov. Code § 24200). For 2028 that is the first Monday after 1 January 2029. 1 January 2029 is a Monday, so Monday, 8 January 2029.
- Vacancy: Board of Supervisors appointment (Gov. Code § 25304). Undersheriff temporarily discharges (§ 24105).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Supervisors sit — staggered desks, not this oval. An Ione PD rumor does not hire this badge. Jackson, Mississippi, is a different state. Scottsboro is Alabama. Sacramento is the capital. Jackson, California, is the seat.
Clerk-Recorder work sits at 810 Court — not Ione City Hall as this clerk
Elections work for Amador County lists with the Clerk-Recorder / Registrar of Voters at the County Administration Center, 810 Court Street, second floor — (209) 223-6465. That is county elections work — not Jackson City Hall as this clerk, not Ione as a second board, not Amador City as the county. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov and amadorcounty.gov elections.
Sample ballot in Amador County, California — not Amador City as the county
Do not take names from a Jackson, Mississippi rumor, an Ione municipal card, a Highway 49 flyer, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — California Secretary of State and the Amador County Registrar of Voters
- Amador County elections
- Current Sheriff of record — official Amador County Sheriff listing at amadorsheriff.org
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. A majority in the primary can finish the race without a November reprint — or a runoff can sit, as this county showed in November 2022. Confirm the Registrar. Do not invent a 2026 sheriff oval here.
What you are hiring — Gold Country remainder patrol and a 76-bed jail
You are hiring the Sheriff of Amador County, California — unincorporated patrol across Pine Grove, Pioneer, Volcano, Fiddletown, Drytown, Martell, River Pines, and the remainder; Plymouth and Amador City with no municipal PD; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 500 Argonaut; and the jail at 700 Court Street. You are not hiring Jackson Police. You are not hiring Ione Police. You are not hiring Mule Creek. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 700 Court as this jailer, Jackson as the seat not the capital, Ione PD as not this oval, Mule Creek as CDCR, and Scottsboro-with-gold as not this rewrite.
Remedy when a writ misses Pine Grove remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Pioneer remainder or Volcano remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Jackson PD. Not Ione. Not Jackson, Mississippi as this oval.
Relief when Highway 88 closes or the Mokelumne rises
Snow toward Carson Pass, a wreck on Highway 49, fire in the dry oak, a night road outside Pine Grove — this county’s mutual aid first. Calaveras is a different count. El Dorado is a different count. Alpine is a different government, and that government has no county jail. Jackson city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, an Argonaut docket, a night shift toward Pioneer
Papers. A Jackson courtroom at 500 Argonaut. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Highway 88 frontage remains this badge. 700 Court remains this badge. Plymouth remainder remains this badge. Jackson PD does not.
Due process does not wait for a Sutter Creek postcard
A levy in unincorporated Amador County, California, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Highway 49, or because a visitor photographed Jackson as if it were Jackson, Mississippi.
Rights from Ione to Volcano
Equal protection on the Gold Country map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at 700 Court and a family in Jackson hire the same Sheriff.
