We can't get through to her, so it's time to go around her and get someone else in there.

Reality is, a lot of people will probably be turning out to vote against her. She has been doing a bad job as Sheriff and has recently been the subject of a pretty serious scandal/allegation/coverup. See here: http://extras.mercurynews.com/harass/

Then there's also this little stunt: https://abc7news.com/exclusive-santa...ester/3430781/

Again, to emphasze, she knows we want a candidate to support and actively mocked us, on camera, during her interview with the SJ Merc editorial board. She's not going to be negotiated with. The reason you don't see anyone chomping at the bit to try to play her off against Hirokawa for CCW issuance is because everybody knows it won't go anywhere. People know it's a waste of time.

I sincerely hope you vote for Hirokawa on November 6th. And even more, I would hope you would get the word about him out to all your friends/family. Smith needs to go. It's long overdue.

ETA: Looking over the link you shared with the strategies people used to get Gore to issue, I can say that most, if not all, of those things have been tried. She won't budge. She mocks us openly. Time for her to retire.
Thanks. I'll read this thoughtful post and the links tomorrow.

For now just wanted to say contacting her and pushing her to change isn't the same as voting for her. Ideally you get two candidates who will issue fairly (about the best you can realistically ask for, getting SC Co to light red or yellow).
