The King County Sheriff`s Office has come under fire after a series of recent problems, including two critical audits. Should new sheriff Steve Strachan retain the position? Or should voters support his better-known challenger, longtime department spokesman John Urquhart? Sheriff Sue Rahr`s departure last March, with a year left in her term, has created a void that the two law enforcement veterans are competing to fill. Rahr has endorsed Sheriff Strachan, who she helped to groom for the position. Her predecessor, Dave Reichert, however, favors John Urquhart for the job. Hear directly from both candidates about their differing visions to move the department forward. In-studio, veteran journalists Linda Byron of KING 5 News and Steve Miletich of the Seattle Times share their insights from the campaign trail.
