Historically, the Fulton County sheriffs race is won in the Democratic primary, with the general election a mere footnote. Theres little reason to think that wont also be the case this year.
Democratic nominee Theodore Jackson, a retired career FBI agent and former interim sheriff, is both qualified and capable of running the troubled department with a professionalism and effectiveness that was beyond the reach of soon-to-be-ex-Sheriff Myron Freeman.
Jackson’s opponent, Republican Michael Rary, also has a strong resume; as Fultons former chief marshal, Rary headed a department that provided security to the countys lower courts and served magistrate warrants.
