Elections

Election time is coming. What? It’s already time to vote for another commander and chief? No, this is local and affects me. The position is for the San Mateo County Coroner.

This year our incumbent is Robert Foucrault. Coroner Foucrault has held nearly every position in this office. Beginning as removal personnel, he has progressed to pathology assistant, to coroner’s deputy, to chief deputy, and finally Coroner. This gives him overall knowledge of every aspect of our office. An invaluable asset.

Our deputies in the field and in the office continue to perform their duties in accordance with the law and with the compassionate wishes of the family as evidence by the many positive feedback surveys. We have multiple outreach programs. To name just a few: our deputies speak at high schools on career choices; we have an active internship program; and we’re just beginning a “Save a Life” for juveniles under probation.

Running against Coroner Foucrault is Stacie Nevares. Ms. Nevares work experience in our office has been in a limited capacity as an office assistance. Ms. Nevares has made invalid and false allegations against our office and its staff. Her improvement suggestions were already incorporated into our office before her employment, or they conflict with the law and the performance of our job.
