By Luke Thomas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

June 28, 2011<\/p>\n

With much fanfare, Captain Paul Miyamoto officially kicked off his campaign for Sheriff today on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.<\/p>\n

The fifteen-year Sheriff\u2019s Department veteran, native San Franciscan and father of five (including triplets), was joined by his family and friends, Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, former State Senator Quentin Kopp, former Supervisor Bevan Dufty, former Department of Emergency Management Director Vicki Hennessy, the White Crane Lion Dancers – and as many as 200 placard-wielding supporters under an unusually sodden June sky.<\/p>\n

Casting his candidacy as a choice between “experience and politics,” Miyamoto, 44, told FCJ: \u201cI am running for the department for all the people you see here right now, for my family and friends, for everybody that\u2019s been a part of my life. The depth of experience I have in this department in carrying out the Sheriff\u2019s vision for the past 15 years and sharing that vision and wanting to bring it to the next level, I think that\u2019s one of the things that will separate me from [fellow candidate, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously not a politician, so I don\u2019t bring any political baggage to the job,\u201d Miyamoto added. \u201cI\u2019m not going to use this job as a soap box or a political forum.\u201d<\/p>\n

A favorite amongst the rank and file to lead the Department after Sheriff Michael Hennessey retires in January, Miyamoto garnered an almost unanimous endorsement from the 800-member sheriff\u2019s union on June 16.\u00a0\u00a0 Fellow candidate and past union president, Deputy Sheriff David Wong, received 11 votes. Though he received just two votes, Mirkarimi has at least one ace up his sleeve: Hennessey\u2019s endorsement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mirkarimi was previously considered the early frontrunner in the ranked-choice contest. With a union behind him, Miyamoto\u2019s candidacy is expected to make the race for San Francisco Sheriff a lot more competitive and interesting.<\/p>\n
