Sheriff candidates Tyler Kamp (D), Jerry Sheridan (R) pivot to the general election
For the first time in at least 20 years, there will be no incumbent in the general election for Maricopa County sheriff.
Democrat Tyler Kamp, a former shift commander, gang enforcement sergeant and homicide detective for the Phoenix Police Department, will face Republican Jerry Sheridan, who was the chief deputy of the Sheriffs Office under former Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Kamp defeated current Sheriff Russ Skinner in the primary election for the Democratic spot on the general election ballot. Skinner, who has served for 43 years at the Sheriffs Office and was appointed in February to replace former Sheriff Paul Penzone, was running for a full term.
Sheridan, who made it to the general election in the 2020 sheriff's race but ultimately lost to Penzone, defeated Frank Milstead, the former head of Arizona's Department of Public Safety and the Mesa Police Department, and Mike Crawford, a former Glendale police officer, in the primary.
