Montgomery County Sheriff Race Heats Up | Roanoke News

Montgomery County, Virginia, votes today in a high-stakes Democratic sheriff’s primary, with three candidates vying to replace retiring Sheriff Hank Partin — and face off against Republican interim Sheriff Robert Page. Ed Hertling, a former captain, wants to rebuild community trust, cut Flock cameras, and boost victim services. Tim Brown, an FBI-trained lieutenant, aims to elevate accreditation, fix hiring shortages, and expand mental health support. Greg Warden, a former sheriff’s lieutenant turned corporal, focuses on visibility, community engagement, and mental health for both officers and citizens. Polls are open until 7 PM — the winner’s November battle against Page will hinge on who best connects with voters and tackles law enforcement’s toughest challenges.
