In a low turnout primary under state supervision 17 481 ballots were cast with Sellers winning GOP sheriff primary and facing Democrat Carroll Bryant in November. Lawrence, a former deputy and first black candidate for the post since Reconstruction, is seen as a sacrificial lamb in a heavily Republican county. Senate District 24 spotlighted Ai ken and five contenders including Moore, with Ryberg leading Sanders and Henderson. Solitor Morgan, boosted by a strong GOP base, is favored over Bryant for November.
Morgan claimed victory as he described Tran's campaign for a seat. He said one goal was exposing Morgan's record, while Huff, brother of Rep. Tom Huff, indicated he was not closing the door on another run at this or any office.
Sellers signals readiness to ease into administration if elected as Lawrence frames the victory as continuity of quality county service. Sheriff Heath says the eight years in office were an honor while GOP rival Gunnells notes he will not seek re election after previously serving as sheriff. Ussery reflects on a strong showing despite not campaigning in the last month due to his father’s illness.
