Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - Sheriff Scott Jones has been re-elected Sacramento County Sheriff, finishing with over 51.5% of the vote, easily outdistancing three other candidates by almost 30 points, and finishing over 75,000 votes ahead of his nearest competitor. 

“I’m honored by the support from Sacramento County,” stated Jones. “The campaign is over. Now it is time to get back to work.”

“It sounds cliché, but I really am deeply honored and humbled by the support and encouragement I have received,” said Jones.  “There have been so many people doing so many things - from our extraordinary Deputies making me look good every day; to campaign staff, donors, volunteers and community leaders working hard over the past four months to win this thing early.  It really is humbling.”

“The best campaign strategy ever is having a candidate who is already doing a great job for the office for which they are running,” said Jones’ consultant Tab Berg. 

“Winning in a crowded field is difficult, especially when special interests are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on negative attacks,” said Berg. “But voters overwhelmingly rejected their cynical tactics and partisan message - largely because Scott Jones has done an extraordinary job as Sheriff.” 

Former Sheriff John McGinness concurred, “Scott is one of the best to ever serve as Sacramento Sheriff.  I see it. Leaders throughout the county see it. Voters clearly see it.  Sacramento is better and safer with Scott Jones as Sheriff.”

The Registrar of Voters still has 4,620 ballots to count before the election can be certified, but the other candidates have been mathematically eliminated and Jones will be re-elected to a 3rd term.
