Volusia County Sheriff Mike
Chitwood is hoping the 2024 elections win him a third term in office.
Chitwood announced Tuesday, June 20, on the steps of the historic Volusia County Courthouse that he would be running for reelection. He filed for candidacy on Friday, June 16.
As he stood in front of the courthouse, joined by members of the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, community leaders, his parents and Sen. Tom Wright, Chitwood said he has two missions going forward.
“Mission number one is fighting for, protecting and serving this community that I love called Volusia County,” he said. “The second part of that mission is fighting for, advocating and serving the men and women — a lot of them you see behind me — that make up the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.”
Chitwood was first elected in 2016, then reelected without opposition in 2020. So far, no one has filed to run against him.
