Another candidate for Sheriff

[wrobert]

How are our Sheriffs elected?
Is there a primary or is this a non partisan office?

The office is partisan. The first election or primary will be August 26th. If only Republicans are qualified on the ballot, it will become an universal primary open to all electors. I believe if no candidate receives 50% +1 vote for office then the top two vote getters advance to the general election in November. From there the one with the majority wins and is Sheriff staring in January of 2009.

Thank you for introducing yourself. How do you feel about the number of current candidates and the potential to spilt the vote for the favor of the incumbent?

Tony:

You have not yet responded to my question about splitting the vote. Please do.
