Six years after leaving the department to run for governor, former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez is once again running for sheriff
"I have had numerous calls from my former colleagues and friends asking me if I would consider running again for Sheriff," said Valdez in a prepared statement."I am honored with their encouragement and look forward to a lively campaign. There is still much work to do in Dallas County, and as I have told my supporters and campaign team, I am not done yet."
Before securing a fifth term, Valdez presumably will have to face off in the March primary against the current sheriff, Marian Brown. Brown was appointed interim sheriff after Valdez left the office to run for governor and was first elected in 2018. Brown handily won the Democratic primary in 2020 over two challengersThe primary is Tuesday, March 5, 2024. Any necessary primary runoffs would be held on May 28, 2024, and the general election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.
Today, I am thrilled to announce my candidacy for Sheriff once again. I have been humbled by the encouraging words and unwavering support from countless individuals. Together, let's create a safer community where justice prevails. Join me as we build a brighter future for all!
