Sheriff Election Challenge

In St. Clair County, Sheriff Mat King faces a surprising challenge this November despite his August primary win. Yale Police Chief Warren Head, who lost the primary by just 2,856 votes, is running as a write-in candidate after voicing concerns over alleged misconduct within the sheriff’s department, including a controversial lawsuit involving a former lieutenant. With a solid background of over 40 years in law enforcement and military service, Head is determined to bring change.
