Republican Mark Napier has a huge lead over his GOP challengers as the early votes have been counted, having captured 42 percent of the vote. None of the other candidates have broken 20 percent.
“We worked really hard,” Napier said. “I had an amazing group of volunteers. The voters of Pima County heard the message and it looks real good.”
Napier said he was looking forward to challenging longtime Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik in November.
“It’s time for a new sheriff,” Napier said.

Plain and simple, If the Right wants you in office , somethings wrong.
^spoken like perfect drones. You both would make excellent “voters” in a dictatorship.
It is time for a new sheriff in Maricopa County. Please take your campaign north.
Time for a real change, no more jail scandals. Let’s start with a new Sheriff to build a professional law enforcement agency.
Let’s try Napier. Perhaps he will control his officers and have them respect the rights of the community, as a whole.
