Sheriff Election — Napa County, California
Napa County, California, Sheriff · the arena · Napa hires this desk in 2028 · not the 2026 Governor · a tasting room remains a business, not the hall · Napa PD remains a city badge
The 2028 oval in Napa — not the 2026 Governor, not a tasting room 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 Napa 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.
Napa hires a Sheriff who does not hold the jail — DOC does
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.
- 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: first Monday after 1 January 2029 = 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 at 1195 Third Street — not this oval. A tasting-room rumor does not hire this badge. St. Helena is a city. Yountville is a town. Sacramento is the capital. Napa is the seat.
Clerk work sits on First Street — not St. Helena as this clerk
Elections work for Napa County lists at 1127 First Street, Suite E (SOS also lists 1125 Third Street, first floor) — (707) 253-4321. Confirm the live door. That is county elections work — not St. Helena as this clerk, not Sonoma as this clerk, not Napa City Hall as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov and napacounty.gov/396/Elections.
Sample ballot in Napa County, California — not a winery as the county
Do not take names from a tasting-room flyer, a St. Helena card, an Autauga card, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — California Secretary of State and the Napa County Registrar
- Napa County elections
- Current Sheriff of record — official Napa County Sheriff listing at napacounty.gov/1292/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, court security, and a contracted American Canyon shop — not the DOC jailer
You are hiring the Sheriff of Napa County, California — patrol of unincorporated Angwin and Berryessa remainder; American Canyon and Yountville contracts the office posts; warrants; civil process at 1535 Airport Boulevard; courthouse security at 825 Brown and 1111 Third. You are not hiring the jailer — Department of Corrections holds 2210 Napa-Vallejo Highway. You are not hiring Napa PD. You are not hiring DSH. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 1535 Airport, Napa as the seat, DOC as the jailer, and a tasting room as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Angwin remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Berryessa remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Sonoma as this oval. Not St. Helena. Not Napa PD as this hire.
Relief when the Napa River floods or a Berryessa fire sits
High water on the Napa, a wreck on 29, fire toward Berryessa, a night road outside Angwin — this county’s mutual aid first. Sonoma is a different count. Solano is a different count. DSH is a different house. A tasting room is not this hall.
Service — papers, a Third Street docket, a night shift toward Lake Berryessa
Papers. A downtown courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on unincorporated Napa remains this badge. A city department does not. A house at 2210 remains DOC’s jail and this Sheriff’s road.
Due process does not wait for a vineyard rumor
A levy in Napa County, California, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a vineyard, or because a visitor photographed a tasting room.
Rights from Calistoga to American Canyon
Equal protection on the valley map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody at DOC’s 2210, with this Sheriff still on the transport and the court. A worker on Airport Boulevard and a family in Angwin hire the same Sheriff.
