Nevada widow sheriff to carry gun in purse in goldfield
Jan 3 Sarah Carter will be sworn in as Esmeralda County sheriff, the second woman to hold the post in Nevada and the first elected in her own right. She plans to organize, mobilize locals, and rely on chief deputy Frank Sweeney to fix county law enforcement gaps. Carter, 49, defeated incumbent Jim Bridgeman and candidates Cathcart and Harrison, citing limited services and a need for accountability. She may carry a gun in her purse and expects opposition from skeptics but believes community support backs her effort.
