Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter

Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter

This is a quieter-than-usual election year for Monroe County government.

The job of county sheriff is on the ballot, but the race is uncontested, meaning Todd Baxter will have a third term.

There are two races in the Monroe County Legislature, but the stakes are relatively low.

Democrats hold a 16-to-13 majority in the chamber, and since both of the seats on the ballot are held by Republicans, there's no chance for the GOP to chip away at that majority. But if Democrats prevail in either race, they will further diminish Republicans' ranks.
