The 2028 oval in Colusa — not the 2026 Governor, not Williams as this hire
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 Colusa 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.
Colusa hires a Sheriff who still holds Bridge Street
Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022): sheriff and district attorney with the presidential primary. A 2022 winner serves six years. Colusa is general law — no charter opt-out of AB 759.
- Last regular: Tuesday, 7 June 2022. Confirm whether a November sheriff card sat that cycle on the Registrar — do not invent a missing race, do not invent a runoff.
- 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. A Williams rumor does not hire this badge. Williams is a city. Sacramento is the capital. Colusa is the seat. Other 2026 county officer races (assessor, auditor, clerk, treasurer, supervisors) are not this oval.
Clerk-Recorder work sits on Jay Street — not Williams as this clerk
Elections work for Colusa County lists at the Hall of Records, 546 Jay Street, Suite 200, Colusa — countyofcolusaca.gov/197/Elections. That is county elections work — not Williams City Hall as this clerk, not a Sutter clerk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov and the Colusa elections door.
Sample ballot in Colusa County, California — not the City of Williams as the county
Do not take names from a Williams municipal card, a Colusa city flyer, a Sutter rumor, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — California Secretary of State and the Colusa County Clerk-Recorder / Registrar of Voters
- Colusa County elections
- Current Sheriff of record — official Colusa County Sheriff listing at countyofcolusaca.gov/156/Sheriff
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 — confirm the Registrar, do not invent a missing race. Do not invent a 2026 sheriff oval here.
What you are hiring — valley remainder patrol and the Bridge Street house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Colusa County, California — unincorporated patrol across Arbuckle, Maxwell, Princeton, Grimes, Stonyford, Lodoga, and the remainder; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 547 Market / 532 Oak; and the jail at 929 Bridge Street. You are not hiring Colusa Police. You are not hiring Williams Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Bridge Street as this jailer, Colusa as the seat not the capital, Williams as not this oval, and Autauga-with-a-levee as not this rewrite.
Remedy when a writ misses Arbuckle remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Maxwell remainder or Princeton remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Colusa PD. Not Williams as this oval.
Relief when I-5 floods or the west-side burns
High water on the Sacramento, a wreck on I-5, fog on the rice checks, fire on the west-side timber toward Lake, a night road outside Maxwell — this county’s mutual aid first. Glenn is a different count. Sutter is a different count. Yolo is a different count. Williams city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Market Street docket, a night shift toward Maxwell
Papers. A Colusa courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-5 frontage remains this badge. Bridge Street remains this badge. Colusa PD does not. Williams PD does not.
Due process does not wait for a rice-harvest rumor
A levy in unincorporated Colusa County, California, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a rice field, or because a visitor photographed Colusa as if it were the capital.
Rights from Stonyford to Princeton
Equal protection on the valley map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at Bridge Street and a family in Williams hire the same Sheriff — the city PDs are still different badges for city 911.
