RACE FOR SHERIFF

We missed this one in recent weeks when we noted that Democrat and law enforcement veteran Barnett Jones of Lake Orion had announced his run for county sheriff against Republican incumbent Mike Bouchard. Jones will be facing fellow Democrat Randy Maloney of Waterford in the August primary. We reached out to Maloney but no response prior to our deadline. The candidate has been noted as press-shy when he first filed in mid-January for the county contest.
