(KMZA)--Marshall County Sheriff Dan Hargrave has filed for re-election.

Hargrave was appointed sheriff in 2008 and was elected to the office in 2012. He was a county commissioner for two years before being appointed sheriff.

The 51-year-old Hargrave told the Marysville Advocate that he’s running for re-election because the sheriff’s department has come a long way during his time in office and he wants to continue to build a solid base for law enforcement in the county.

So far, Hargrave is unchallenged in his bid for another four-year term.

Candidates have until noon, June 1st to file. The Kansas primary election is set for August 2nd, and the general election for November 8th.
