The candidates for Sangamon County sheriff say they will provide change in the office.

Republican incumbent Paula Crouch was appointed to the position two years ago from outside of the department. 

Democratic challenger Marc Bell points to his Illinois State Police experience dealing with those behind the badge. 

Both candidates spoke with Patrick Pfingsten on WMAY’s PM Springfield. Their interviews are at WMAY.com.
