Election results

Congratulations to Jim Rider for running a strong campaign for Sheriff in the 2006 election. Unfortunately it wasn't quite strong enough to win. The final results are in - Opponent: 3751 Classmate: 2524.

For the record, the PDC Class of '71 has had a lock on the Grant County Sheriff's office for the past ten years. You may have read about the race this year. News coverage appeared in 350+ news outlets from the New York Times on down to the Henderson Daily Dispatch in Henderson NC, due to the fact that one of the challengers changed his name to Andy Griffith. The real Andy Griffith wasn't too happy about that.
