After historic election, 4 African American sheriffs in Georgia aim to fix broken trust
In November, voters in Georgia made state history when they elected four African American sheriffs to lead the most populous counties in Atlanta.
Patrick Labat, sheriff-elect of Fulton County, Craig Owens, sheriff-elect of Cobb County, Keybo Taylor, sheriff-elect of Gwinnett County and Melody Maddox, sheriff-elect of DeKalb County, have been elected to be the highest-ranking law enforcement officials in their respective counties.
Maddox also made history as the first female to assume the position of sheriff in DeKalb County. For us to be sitting here, together as a group, it s amazing. It s amazing to us… never in my wildest dreams, Maddox told CBS News Mark Strassmann.
