Current, former sheriff vying to be Dallas County's top cop in runoff election
The incumbent Dallas County sheriff and her predecessor will go toe-to-toe in the runoff election next Tuesday in a hotly contested race for the county’s top law enforcement official.
Sheriff Marian Brown is running to keep her post, while Lupe Valdez — who served as sheriff from 2005 until she stepped down to run for governor and endorsed Brown as her replacement in 2017 — is vying for a political comeback.
Brown and Valdez split the vote, 42% and 37.67%, respectively, in the crowded Democratic primary in March. With no Republican on the ballot, the winner will run unopposed in the November general election.
Valdez’s campaign spokesperson, Mike Hendrix, said her camp is confident Dallas County voters understand what’s at stake in the sheriff’s race: Control and oversight of the county’s law enforcement agency and jail for the next four years.
