Summary
Incumbent Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett is running for another term in office. He’ll face off against challenger Jack Ordman, a civilian activist, in the August primary. Speaking with our News Producer Faye Parks, Sheriff Barrett touted his achievements over the last five years and described the work ahead. He also defended his department’s handling of protesters at Ridglan Farms this spring and explained why the county isn’t ready to shut down the aging jail. Image courtesy: Sheriff Kalvin Barrett.
