Table Key
2014, 2018, 2022 Data
The data shows that these three key positions – Clerk, District Attorney, and Sheriff – have not been held by the GOP in over a decade. With the exception of the Clerk race in 2022, conservatives have lost ground as a percentage of votes won. 2022 showed a plunge in turnout, so to actually gain ground, as in the Clerk race, is remarkable.
How do we reverse the turnout trend and how do we get good people elected?
