Door County Chief Deputy Sheriff Pat McCarty may have lost a race for sheriff but he’s happy to keep the number-two position he’s held for the past three years. When Sheriff-elect Tammy Sternard takes office in January the current administrative staff will remain in place.  McCarty says she informed him of her decision last week and that's sparked a lot of enthusiasm for the new administration.

McCarty says he and Sternard have talked regularly since the sheriff's race was decided.
