LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Committee to Elect Frank Rivero for Sheriff has announced the official launching of its fall campaign to elect Frank Rivero as Lake County’s next sheriff.

The team, in partnership with Konocti Vista Casino, 2755 Mission Rancheria Road in Lakeport, has planned a special evening with the candidate on Saturday, Aug. 14.

From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Rivero will share his vision and plan to bring about change in the sheriff's office.

The free event is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about Rivero, as well as supporters and those who might want to get involved with the campaign.

Rivero, the leading vote getter in the three-way sheriff’s race in the June 8 primary election, is now in a run-off election with the incumbent sheriff, Rod Mitchell.

“After taking some time to enjoy my family and reflect on what lies ahead, I am eager to hit the campaign trail again,” said Rivero. “I am stronger than ever in my commitment to bring about needed reforms in an atmosphere of openness and accountability.”

Complimentary appetizers and beverages will be served and there will be some low-key fundraising activities for those who wish to support Rivero's campaign financially.
