ANSON COUNTY, N.C. — Anson County Sheriff Scott Howell is seeking a second term, according to reports from the Anson Record.
Howell announced this week that he plans to run in the 2026 election.
For two years, Howell and Gernald Cannon claimed to have the rightful title of Sheriff of Anson County.
This came after a sheriff’s candidate died weeks before the 2022 election but still won the vote posthumously.
In August, the State Court of Appeals ruled that Howell was the official sheriff.
