Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard has been a vocal critic of the SAFE Act since it’s inception.
He’s up for re-election this year and I’ve been searching for polling data to see how he’s doing. Erie has an almost 2-1 Democrat enrollment advantage. Only thing I could find was this Buffalo News article on his opponent:
“… Even though [Bernard Tolbert] should compete this year as a favorite in heavily Democratic Erie County, most polls show him trailing — though far from out of it …”
Good. We need to keep Howard around.
