The endorsement from Harris days leading up to election is a big one that will influence constituencies\u00a0as far north as Oceanside, Vista and Escondido and as far south as Southeastern San Diego and Chula Vista as well as in the City of San Diego&#8217;s District 3.<\/b><\/h3>\n<div><strong>WHAT:<\/strong>\u00a0Shane Harris who is most known as the Founder and President of the national civil rights organization the People&#8217;s Association of Justice Advocates is set to announce a big endorsement Friday in the San Diego County Sheriff&#8217;s race just days before the election and arguably the county&#8217;s most critical race because of the county leading the state with in\u00a0custody mortality rates. Many voters across San Diego county are still undecided on who to support for San Diego County Sheriff. Harris&#8217;s endorsement\u00a0is expected to be a major swaying factor in the days leading up to the election as it will impact votes as far north San Diego in areas such as Oceanside, Escondido, and Vista and as far south as Southeastern San Diego and Chula Vista all areas where Harris has an impact with constituencies who respect his long standing\u00a0civil rights work and civic leadership. The endorsement of Hemmerling comes as a surprise as Harris, a registered\u00a0democrat, will part with the county Democratic party who has endorsed Hemmerling&#8217;s opponent in the race who recently changed her party registration. Friday&#8217;s announcement\u00a0will include agreements Harris and Hemmerling made on decreasing the county&#8217;s jail deaths, expanding diversity in the department&#8217;s executive levels and increasing the department&#8217;s community outreach by expanding it into a bigger division.\u00a0Harris&#8217;s endorsement of John Hemmerling in the race for county Sheriff comes after Dave Myers, who was the San Diego Democratic Party&#8217;s endorsed candidate in the primary, also endorsed Hemmerling.
