Racine Sheriff Race: Choices for Community Trust | Milwaukee News

Tomorrow’s primary in Racine County pits two Republican sheriff candidates against each other: Cary Madrigal, with 26 years on the force, pushing for mental health support and annual deputy check-ins, versus Henry Perez, a Miami law enforcement vet turned alderman, focused on jail accreditation and inmate treatment reform. The Democratic race is a walkaway for Don Vandervest, who’s unopposed. Both agree tech like Flock cameras can help—but only if properly regulated. Their pasts include Madrigal’s legal battle over disciplinary records and Perez’s early termination from a juvenile detention role. At heart, both vow to rebuild community trust—one through personal outreach, the other via open forums. Polls are open 7 AM to 8 PM—don’t miss your chance to shape the future of law enforcement here.
