LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has raised more than $1.25 million for his 2022 reelection campaign, it was revealed Friday.

Villanueva was elected to the sheriff's office in 2018. As of Dec. 2021, the campaign had raised $900,000 in addition to $1 million in campaign funds on hand.


"The public is desperate for solutions to out-of-control homelessness and crime," Villanueva's campaign director, Javier Gonzalez, told The Los Angeles Daily News. "The three-card Monte game of distraction against the sheriff by the political establishment has failed. We will win in June."

"The political elite will regret listening to their woke, well-off, privileged staff instead of listening to the concerns of immigrant communities, working class African Americans, middle-class homeowners, and small-business owners who have borne the brunt of rising crime and out-of-control homelessness," Gonzalez said.

Villanueva's campaign expects to report higher fundraising numbers heading into 2022.
