Kozak Defeats Barnes For Laramie County Sheriff

Former Cheyenne Police Chief Brian Kozak has been elected Sheriff of Laramie County. Kozak edged independent candidate Jeff Barnes and Democrat Jess Fresquez in Tuesday's general election.

Unofficial results had Kozak receiving about 47 percent of the vote to roughly 40 percent for Barnes and about 12 percent for Democrat Jess Fresquez. Kozak served as Cheyenne's Police Chief for about a decade before incoming Mayor Patrick Collins decided not to retain him in 2020.

He defeated Captain Don Hollingshead of the sheriff's office and Boyd Wrede in a somewhat contentious primary election battle.

Long-time sheriff Danny Glick, a Republican, is retiring after several terms in office and did not run for re-election.

Kozak posted the following video on his campaign website:
