 Mike
Carona '92, Management & Human Resources
Orange County Sheriff
Orange
County Sheriff Mike Carona opted to stay out of
this year's California recall election despite
his wave of regional popularity and close talks
with California Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"You
know, I am already a politician," says Carona,
a '92 management and human resources graduate.
"I got elected to this job, and I'm really
proud to represent citizens. There will be something
after sheriff; I don't know what that's going
to be. There was a rumor that I was going to run
for the U.S. Senate—I've dispelled that rumor,
and now, because of the recall, there was a rumor
that I was going to run for governor. Read
