The Best Man Didn’t Win

Despite 3,425 ballots in his favor, Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement Task Force detective Paul Best will not be the next Sheriff of Charlottesville. The position will instead be filled by his opponent, Albemarle County officer James Brown, who defeated the Independent-running Best by garnering 62 per cent. of the vote.

Apparently most area residents were not swayed by Best’s one-time dressed-down street corner electioneering, scarce placards, or last minute door-to-door canvassing. Still, Best says he’s pleased with his campaign and won’t mind continuing his work with JADE.
