Excerpted from The Sacramento Bee Two sheriffs. Two endorsements of competing candidates. Today, Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness endorsed sheriff's Capt. Scott Jones to succeed him. In an e-mail to The Bee just before the news conference, former Sacramento County Sheriff Lou Blanas endorsed Capt. Jim Cooper to head the department. The sheriff is the top elected law enforcement officer in Sacramento County. McGinness appeared with Jones at a news conference in front of the department's downtown headquarters. Blanas was lobbied by a group of deputies to run for the post again. But, in a news release this morning, Blanas decided to back Cooper. "Jim's experience on the streets and his leadership both in law enforcement and as a city councilman make him the right person for the job," Blanas said. Former Sacramento Police Chief Albert Najera has also expressed interest in the job.
