Jacksonville Sheriff

Burton, a 24-year veteran of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, says she faced a difficult campaign after finishing second in November.

Burton, who lost to Sheriff T.K. Waters in November, formally filed to run in the March election, but she says she has not made a final decision.

Waters became sheriff Sunday during a ceremony at Bible Believers Baptist Church in Mandarin.

After winning the special election to be Jacksonville's new sheriff, T.K. Waters has filed to run again just days before he is sworn in to his short term.

The debate over whether a former sheriff's candidate traded his endorsement for a job got deeper and more confusing Friday.

Waters and Democrat Lakesha Burton are heading into the home stretch as early voting begins. Election Day is two weeks away.

Democrat Lakesha Burton and Republican T.K. Waters squared off Friday in possibly their final debate before Election Day.

Current Sheriff Pat Ivey sent Burton a letter saying she was violating municipal code by wearing a uniform in campaign ads after retiring.

Republicans claimed sheriff candidate Lakesha Burton broke campaign finance rules when she told donors they could give the maximum amount twice.

A poll from the University of North Florida also found people split over a proposed tax for Duval schools.
