Deputy Commissioner Walter Burton declined the state's emergency motion to unblock SB 5974, keeping a Thurston County judge's preliminary ruling in place as sheriffs in 35 of Washington's 39 counties file to run for election. The law would set new qualifications and create an administrative path to remove elected sheriffs from office. https://clarkcountytoday.com/news/wa-supreme-court-rejects-states-attempt-to-unblock-sheriff-eligibility-law/ #WASheriff #SB5974 #WashingtonSupremeCourt #LawEnforcement #WashingtonState #ElectedSheriff #Politics #WashingtonStateStandard
