WAYNE CLARK

Six candidates had announced they were running for Jacksonville sheriff – but that number was down to five Friday after Mat Nemeth withdrew from the race and tossed his endorsement to JSO Chief of Investigations T.K. Waters.

The race for sheriff has now moved from a year-long battle to less than 80 days as the candidates try to move voters in their favor.

The election isn’t until 2023 — but Tuesday night, members of the Jacksonville community got a chance to get to know some of the candidates for sheriff and where they stand on the issues that matter most to them.

The candidates for Jacksonville Sheriff will answer questions Tuesday night in a candidates forum.

The crowded race for Jacksonville sheriff in 2023 got another new name this week when Democrat Tony Cummings threw his hat in the ring.
