I am certain that we have an incredible opportunity in San Francisco to have a leader who will not only represent San Francisco and its public safety needs, but will represent what it means to do smart criminal justice work, what it means to reforms the criminal justice system in a way that will have an impact throughout the State of California.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2011\/chris_cunnie_files_for_sherrif_20110718\/_w2w0670_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Attorney General Kamala Harris.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Supervisor Scott Weiner, who is considered a moderate conservative on the Board, said he is supporting Cunnie because, \u201cWe need a sheriff who is going to be able to hit the ground running, running this department, and I know Chris will be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cunnie, a former SFPD officer who also worked as a sheriff in the municipal prison system under Sheriff Hennessey, joins Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/2914\/miyamoto-kicks-off-campaign-for-sheriff\/\">Sheriff\u2019s Captain Paul Miyamoto<\/a> in the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Mirkarimi, who was previously considered the frontrunner candidate in the race, garnered the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/2803\/hennessey-endorses-mirkarimi-for-sheriff\/\">early endorsement of retiring Sheriff Hennessey<\/a> in May. Today, Hennessey indicated he will not dual endorse in the ranked choice race despite a close relationship with Cunnie.<\/p>\n<p>Cunnie told FCJ that in addition to being endorsed by Harris and Weiner, he has or will be endorsed by Lt.
