Why didn’t you hold an election for a new sheriff?

Isn't the former sheriff the man who had a YouTube video posted that warned BLM and Antifa to stay out of his county?

There was a primary for a new sheriff.....just before the election, Sheriff Daniels was hit with the dirty tactics....
Once she won the primary, the other candidate, a write in, withdrew from the race, so the goober-nor appointed her

Unlike her, I’d never again recommend to anyone a career as a police officer.

Goober? He’s the best governor in the country. Hopefully President in 2024.

Sorry....sometimes what is in my head, doesn't come out correctly when typed.
Goober-nor is my generic term, like Goober-mint.....
Not a direct reference to DeSantis, since I voted for him and will do so again (and he'd be a better prez than Pence)

Oh ok. Sorry. I’m so thankful that you voted for him and will again. I will as well.

Presumably to fill out the term of the deposed Daniels until the November election, when she becomes the elected sheriff, running unopposed.
