CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook will seek a second term in August 2024.
She filed to run Monday. So far, she is the only candidate.
Cook was elected in a special election after previous sheriff Darryl Daniels was arrested and subsequently removed by Gov. DeSantis.
She won the Republican nomination during the primary and ran unopposed.
Cook has worked in law enforcement for 31 years.
In a statement Monday, Cook called her time as sheriff "the honor of my life."
"As Sheriff, I have fought every day to build an agency that our county can be proud of – but the work isn’t done yet," she said. "I am asking the people of Clay County to put their trust in me again and humbly ask for your vote on August 20, 2024.”
