Enter Mark Napier. He received 43% of the vote to defeat four other Republicans in the August 28 primary and will go up against Dupnik this November. Napier is a career law enforcement officer, conservative Republican and has the record needed to send Dupnik into retirement.
“I feel wonderful about the win,” said Napier. “I have a great team that worked to deliver a simple message- it’s time for a new sheriff. It’s time we had an engaged, dynamic and professional sheriff that engages the citizens, and I think that message resonated with voters. We will keep up with our positive message to people that new leadership is needed. I think people are ready for a change.”

Every election year there are always a few elections around the country that are interesting to watch. I cannot think of a more interesting one this year than the Pima County Sheriff.
Note: Yes, I know there is a Green Party candidate for Sheriff. I think they’re putting up Kermit the Frog.
