Door County Sheriff-elect Tammy Sternard is not in a particular hurry to choose a new Chief Deputy. It’s been three-weeks since Sternard, who currently serves as Jail Lieutenant, defeated current Chief Deputy Patrick McCarty in the sheriff’s race. She says her decision will come in December. Sternard says there are other key positions that need to be filled first.

When asked whether McCarty might be asked to stay on as Chief Deputy, Sternard says she wasn’t about to discuss personnel matters.
