Sheriff Charlie McDonald outraised and outspent his two challengers in the 2014 primary, campaign finance records show.

The incumbent, who was appointed to the job in March 2012 after Sheriff Rick Davis took medical leave and then resigned, raised $32,324, spent $23,715 and had $17,560 cash on hand. Counting his fundraising in 2013, McDonald raised a total of $53,010.
Michael Brown, a State Highway Patrol trooper who also ran for sheriff in 2002 and 2006, raised $25,780, spent $23,476 and had $2,304 cash on hand. Erik Summey, the Fletcher police chief, raised $24,132, spent $19,801 and had $4,330 cash on hand.
