CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels filed on Wednesday with the Clay County Supervisor of Elections to run for reelection this year.
“For those that didn’t think I was going to do it, shame on you,” Daniels told Action News Jax reporter Jamarlo Phillips during Lunch With The Law, a new community engagement initiative. “We have so much momentum going with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and what we are doing out in the community. It is too soon to stop.”
