Sacramento County Sheriff’s candidates Scott Jones and Milo Fitch.
When one of Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones’s deputies struck a protester with a vehicle at a Stephon Clark demonstration and then drove away, campaign contributions started drying up. His upstart challenger Milo Fitch, meanwhile, saw a renewed wave of campaign dollars. Now, Jones’s department is hoping to earn back some social capital with the recent arrest of the alleged East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer. Will it be enough to fend off Fitch?
