Laffitte Clears Hurdle for Sheriff Race | Mobile News

Pamela Laffitte is officially back on track to run for Mobile County sheriff after overcoming a legal hurdle: a local law requiring five years as a sworn officer with arrest powers.

Her supporters argue her corrections experience qualifies, and despite initial attempts to remove her from the ballot, she remains confident and will appear on the November election ballot.
