Los Angeles County supervisor, Sheila Kuehl’s Santa Monica home was searched by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday morning, September 14, 2022. 

A county employee, according to the Times, claims Kuehl’s office assisted in the improper awarding of contracts to a charity. It wasn’t immediately clear, though, whether the Wednesday warrant service was associated with that inquiry.

Kuehl has frequently argued with Sheriff Villanueva and has demanded his resignation previously. The board of supervisors has asked for the right to oust the elected sheriff.

In 1978, Harvard Law School awarded Supervisor Kuehl her degree. In her early years, she gained fame for playing the irascible Zelda Gilroy in the television series “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.”

She also served as the host of the West Hollywood cable programme “Get Used To It,” which addressed gays and gay issues. In order to help create legislation, she also collaborated with Planned Parenthood of California. She’s still a powerful and influential force in Los Angeles politics today, despite her past as a child actress.
