Five-term incumbent Laurie Smith's department has come under scrutiny in the last few years for the mistreatment of jail inmates and overspending. But her challenger, John Hirokawa, is less well-known, and the question remains whether voters are swayed by the department's internal problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith, a Republican, was the first woman to be elected sheriff in California. In the June primary, Smith captured 43 percent of the vote — not enough to avoid a runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Challenger John Hirokawa, a Democrat who was the undersheriff in Santa Clara County until he retired two years ago, won 32 percent of the vote. The remaining votes were split among three other candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Smith and Hirokawa favor putting more resources into addressing campus sexual assault and limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. And they both support a plan to build a new county jail.
