Summit County Sheriff Justin Martinez to serve another four years

SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — Due to a lack of competition, Justin Martinez will serve as Summit County Sheriff for another four years.

The campaign filing deadline expired on Friday, and no one filed to run except the incumbent Martinez.

He joins Summit County Attorney Margaret Olson and Summit County Clerk Eve Furse in gaining another term due to no other candidates filing.

“I’m honored, humbled, and excited to continue serving this great community. We’ve accomplished so much, and we are excited to continue our progress,” Sheriff Martinez said in a statement.

Republican Park City resident Holly McClure is incumbent Chris Robinson’s only challenger for Summit County Council Seat D.

Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Glenn Wright is the Chair of the Summit County Council. Wright was Chair last year, but Chris Robinson is Chair this year.
