Sierra Madre, Temple City mayors endorse Tanaka for sheriff It was announced that Sierra Madre Mayor Nancy Walsh officially voiced support of former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka as he campaigns for Sheriff of Los Angeles County. Tanaka has also received the support of Rosemead Mayor Polly Low and Temple City Mayor Cynthia Sternquist. “Paul Tanaka’s exceptional leadership is exactly what the Los Angeles
Sheriff’s Department needs,” said Mayor Walsh. “As Mayor of the City of Gardena, Paul successfully saved the city from bankruptcy, reduced crime to record lows and increased business throughout the city. The department would be lucky to have him as their next Sheriff.” “I am honored to have the endorsement of Mayor Walsh,” said former Undersheriff Tanaka. “The
