Troyer Vs. Fajardo: Pierce County Sheriff Election Results 2020
PIERCE COUNTY, WA — Ed Troyer has taken a commanding lead to become the next Pierce County Sheriff, receiving nearly two-thirds of the vote in the first ballot drop after the Nov. 3 election.
In early October, Sheriff Paul Pastor stepped down after 19 years on the job to enter retirement, now the race is on to see who will succeed him.
In the interim, the Pierce County Council appointed Undersheriff Brent Bomkamp to serve as the sheriff until the Nov. 3 election. Voters have cast their ballots, but regardless of who wins, Bomkamp will remain as interim sheriff until the election is officially certified on Nov 24. After that, the winner will immediately take control of the sheriff's department until their term officially begins on January 1, 2021.
