DECATUR â Even as the 2018 Macon County sheriffâs election between incumbent Tony Brown and challenger Jim Root remains unsettled, the focus may soon turn to 2022 as another familiar name is eyeing the office. The answer is yes, he will be running for sheriff in 2022, said former Sheriff Thomas Schneider, who is listed as chairman of the âCommittee to Elect Buffett for Sheriffâ on campaign finance documents filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections last October.
According to the documents, Buffett plans to run as a Republican, which could set up a head-to-head primary matchup with Root and, if successful, a general election contest against incumbent Brown, a Democrat who defeated Root by a single vote in the still-unresolved 2018 election.
