Sonoma County: Engram tries to avoid runoff for sheriff; two supervisors win reelection

Sonoma County Assistant Sheriff Eddie Engram appears to be right at about 50 percent approval to take the top job in the Sheriff’s Office, finishing ahead of his opponents Carl Tennenbaum and Dave Edmonds in Tuesday’s election, but Engram and Tennenbaum could head to a November runoff if Engram falls below the 50 percent mark.

Engram has just a few votes over the margin needed avoid the runoff, with his 26,282 votes counted as of late Tuesday night making up 50.002 percent of the total 52,561 votes counted thus far, according to the unofficial numbers on the county’s election website.
