Dom Costa, a former state representative and police chief, and Kevin Kraus, the current second in command of the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, both announced their respective bids for sheriff on Friday.
Kraus comes with the endorsement of current Sheriff William Mullen, who has served in the position since 2006. Mullen is retiring at the end of his current term.
“I know that with Kraus as our sheriff, this office remains in good, capable and trustworthy hands upon my retirement,” Mullen said in a statement voicing his support for his chief deputy.
