In the race for Orange County sheriff is current Orlando Police Chief John Mina, who is running without party affiliation against Democratic candidate Joe Lopez. Former Orange County SWAT Cmdr. Tom Stroup was running against the two as the only GOP candidate until he dropped out of the race in early March.
