Coming in second isn't as much fun, though it is the first loser, so nobody tries for second or third.

| Award for Francis |
Francis knows how cool first is so he wants everyone to think he's first. Only he's not. I'm not sure who the first Hispanic Sheriff was in California but it is safe to say that in 150 years there have probably been at least a few.
Today there are at least three Hispanic Sheriffs in California. Some guy named Lee Baca in the County of Angels is one. Sheriff Prieto in Yolo county is another and chances are there are plenty of others besides Francis.
But he's not like those other guys. They have really distinguished careers.
Sheriff Prieto started his career in the Army and threw himself from perfectly good airplanes to show what a solid guy he is. He went on to serve 31 years in the Highway Patrol before becoming the Yolo Sheriff. Now that's a lawman to be proud of.
Sheriff Baca similarly began his career in the military as a reservist for the Marines then started with the LA Sheriff's dept in 1965. He has a PhD in public administration and he's on his fourth term overseeing 18,000 staff.
I wonder what those guys think of Francis?
On Francis' spiffy propaganda blog he claims he is "a new and progressive Sheriff Mr. Frank Rivero in office, who is the first Hispanic sheriff in the state of California,"
Since we know he isn't first we worked with the spelunkers science team to create this cool formula and figure out the probability of him coming in at 'nth' place. We couldn't figure it out but it looks cool on the cave wall.What does 'progressive' mean anyway? Is that because he has pot grower friends? He's not first at that either. He's also not the first woman Sheriff, he's not even the first gay woman Sheriff. Could he be the first Sheriff with a dog?
Francis might be California's first felon Sheriff that runs a mortuary but that just doesn't sound as cool.
