Incumbent Linn County Sheriff Orlie Workman defends his record as his 1980 bid faces questions over his conduct and early release of some drunk driving suspects. Republican challenger Buzz Sawyer, a Cedar Rapids police veteran, targets patrol expansion, jail upgrades, and a joint law enforcement facility while criticizing Workman’s handling of narcotics, ASAP funding, uniforms, and resource allocation.
