“Serving as Sheriff of our great community is the honor of my life. By working together, we’ve kept our neighborhoods safe by adding uniformed deputies to the streets, given our officers and staff a well-deserved pay increase, and rebuilt the trust and faith our community has in the Sheriff’s Office. As Sheriff, I have fought every day to build an agency that our county can be proud of – but the work isn’t done yet. I am asking the people of Clay County to put their trust in me again and humbly ask for your vote on August 20, 2024.” - Sheriff Cook

Before serving as Sheriff, Michelle spent nearly thirty years in law enforcement, from starting her career as a beat cop in 1992, eventually serving as 3rd in command of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and then Chief of Police in Atlantic Beach, Florida.

Early voting dates have not been released yet.
