Craig Davis, incumbent Franklin County Sheriff, talks with Robin Dunn, rural Wellsville, Tuesday night during a candidate forum at the Franklin County Office Annex, 1418 S. Main St., Ottawa. Davis, along with two other Republican candidates — Tony LeMaster and Jim Honn — are running for the sheriff’s position. The winner of the Republican race likely will face Democrat Byron Goracke, former Richmond police chief, Nov. 4 in the general election.
