Mike is endorsed by EVERY Santa Clara Chief of Police since 1975:

Donald "Manny" Ferguson, Santa Clara Chief of Police (1975 - 1987), Retired
"I hired Mike 27 years ago and have followed his career with interest over the years. His broad experience makes him uniquely qualified to lead the entire department."

Frank G. Vasquez, Santa Clara Chief of Police (1988 - 1994), Retired
"Mike learned to do things the 'Santa Clara Way' and he would continue to do things the Santa Clara Way in the future. That commitment to honest and ethical Law Enforcement and to the Santa Clara traditions was how the department's reputation was built and would be maintained."

Charles R. Arolla, Santa Clara Chief of Police (1994 - 2000), Retired
"In every assignment Mike has had in the department he has risen to a leadership role. Few officers have accomplished this, and the experience has given Mike a unique knowledge and understanding of every functional unit within the Police Department."

Stephen D. Lodge, Santa Clara Chief of Police (2000 - 2010), Retired
"Mike's extensive experience and achievements make him the only choice for Santa Clara Chief of Police in the November election."

"Watching Mike develop throughout his career and seeing his genuine concern for keeping Santa Clara safe led to Mike Sellers being my unequivocal choice to succeed me."
