The mailer in question was so-called voter guide mailers that contain several candidates and issues. The mailer is questions is titled California Public Safety Newsletter and Voter Guide.



Specifically Elk Grove Council Member Sophia Scherman's entry on the guide caught our attention. Republican Scherman's entry on the guide reads:

"Tough on crime local Mayor & Councilwoman. Endorsed by COPS & Firefighters.


So to see how true this claim is, specifically if Scherman has any endorsements from police or firefighter associations, we checked her endorsements list on her campaign's website site. Not surprisingly, there were no identifiable police or firefighters associations endorsements listed on her site.

Now Scherman's could trying to be too cute by half and include some individual public safety officials, but as far as we could see, she had none. Perhaps she is referring to past endorsements in her city council races.

In any case, the claim appears to be false.

Interestingly, in perusing the her campaign website we also came upon a picture of Scherman at a ribbon cutting ceremony along with with Elk Grove Council Members Gary Davis and Steve Detrick and Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli - none of whom endorsed her.
