Sheriff's race down to two

June 19, 2012
The November general election race for Boundary County Sheriff is now down to two contenders after the Democratic candidate officially withdrew from the race last week.

Shane Foutch, who garnered 50 votes on the Democratic ticket in the May primary, formally withdrew from the race June 13. As of right now that leaves incumbent Republican sheriff Greg Sprungl facing Independent candidate Gary Leonard, though there is still time for candidates to file as write-ins.

In May, Sprungl held off Republican challenger Jeff Ennis, 1,041 votes to 747.

The general election takes place November 6.
