Ward will be Republican Candidate for Sheriff

Matt Ward said of his win with 56.22 % of the vote for Republican Candidate in Tuesday’s Primary, ” I have always my entire career worked for the people of Botetourt County, coming in even on my days off.”

The people voted him in with over twice the votes of Jeff Stritesky and Mike Vineyard combined.

Chris Booth won Commissioner of Revenue over Mike Griffin.

In Blue Ridge Billy Martin defeated Walter Michael with 67 % of the vote.

Ward will face two independent contenders in the November election. On June 11, the man with the “R” beside the name in Botetourt County means something. And that man is Matt Ward.
