Chesapeake Sheriff David Rosado and Undersheriff Christopher Pascal used sheriff's office staff, resources and events to advance Rosado's failed candidacy during his 2025 campaign, according to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which has filed two complaints with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board.
