met martin at this peet's coffee, trying to get him to publicly endorse her. >> she brought internal documents that have jobs for us to apply for and get. >> she also said well, you can do this one here, or, you know, whatever you apply to, give me a call, use my name and we'll get you there. >> after martin monica says laurie smith sent this text saying hi, martin, have i some info for your son. so do you have some time to meet again? also, thank you so much for endorsing me. but he is not endorsing laurie smith. >> it wasn't the right thing to do. i vote for people that i believe will do the correct job. >> former lieutenant for sheriff says he saw something in wrong with his meeting with rick sung at agave restaurant across from city hall. >> the sheriff would like to know if you would endorse her. >> he said sung made an offer he believed came on behalf of the sheriff. >> what if we brought you back
