Nick Georgi To Remain Sheriff of Jefferson County
Incumbent Sheriff Nick Georgi will keep his job, according to Jefferson County voters. Georgi was appointed to the position last year by Jefferson County Commissioners after the previous Sheriff, Matt Schultz, resigned.
Georgi was one of three candidates running for Jefferson County Sheriff. The second candidate was Cody Barry, a deputy with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office who was one of five candidates under consideration when Commissioners were searching for Sheriff Schultz’s replacement. The third candidate was Wilber Young, a former deputy who was fired from the Sheriff’s Office last year after being accused of failing to serve a felony warrant. He was charged, tried and found Not Guilty by a jury.
All three of the candidates ran as Republicans. There were no Democrat or other party-affiliated candidates, which means that Georgi will have no opposition in the general election in November 2022.
