Sacramento Sheriff John McGinness announced today that he will not seek reelection in 2010.
Within hours, Elk Grove City Council member Jim Cooper formally announced he will seek the office.
McGiness, who has been with the department for 29 years, said that in addition to Cooper there were two other candidates that would be vying for the position.
For Cooper, a charter member of the Elk Grove City Council and it's first mayor, it has long been speculated he aspired to be sheriff. Cooper was the sheriffs department spokesperson for several years in the mid 1990's.
It was this role as spokesperson that made Cooper widely known when he first ran for office in 2000 and is credited with his place finish in the 2000 election that fielded over 20 candidates. Prior to that, Cooper's Elk Grove community involvement was confined to children athletics.

Jim Cooper for Sheriff terrifies me.
What about old Man Lent?
ok that is just uncalled for
What is wrong with Jim Cooper???? or is that uncalled for?
Hello Grand Jury
Jim Cooper is morally and ethically corrupt, I am sure we will all learn his dirty little secrets now that he is running for Sheriff.
Super Cooper or Pooper Scooper?
The uncalled for was about the comments made about Bob Lent. Apparently people want to attack him, anonymously, because he is getting a divorce. How sad you are however wrote that, and thank you to whoever removed that filth.
Elk Grove News. Net is the only real source of news we have left in the area. Its really sad to see people bringing the site down by taking anonymous cheap shots at individuals, like them or not.
Lent has done a lot of wonderful things in the community through his charity. The mall has nothing to do with him and everything to do with the failures of General Growth- the mall develope, and the failure of the Council Members.
Isn't this topic about Cooper's candidacy, which dare I say it, is revolting. A man who thinks he is above the law seeking to be the sheriif, now that's bold. That campaign will be the dirtiest in town.
You are wrong! His wife was the driving force behind the Mall! A fact is a fact! Thank you ELk Grove News.net to let people expose the truth!
Why attacK Cooper??? The guy is good!
" The Guy is Good", clearly you don't know the man. I imagine you will learn who the real Cooper is during the campaign trail.
Is Mr. Robert Lent really getting a divorce? What a sweet guy... I knew the wife would stray....
