Sluder Outspends Miller In Sheriff Primary




Rick Sluder, unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for Fulton County

Sheriff, spent $1,049.41 more than Roy Miller, who won the GOP slot in the March 6 primary election.

Information on campaign spending, required by state law, was taken from documents filed with the Fulton County Board of Elections.

Sluder’s campaign committee raised and spent $9,252, about 12.8% more than the Miller campaign, which raised $9,301.70 but spent only $8,202.59.

That left the Miller campaign committee with $1,099.11 cash on hand.

Miller also had $494.66 in in-kind contributions.

Since no one filed for the Democratic side of the primary for sheriff, Miller won’t have to face Democratic competition in the Nov. 6 fall general election. He may face a write-in opponent.

Contributions, Miller

The Roy E. Miller for Fulton County Sheriff campaign committee, Kathleen S. Miller, treasurer, filed its final campaign finance report with the Fulton County Board of Elections on Monday, April 2, well ahead of the Friday, April 13 deadline.

The single largest contribution to the Miller campaign was Gene Miller of rural Lyons, who listed his occupation as “retired.” He donated $4,000 to the campaign.

The candidate and his wife donated $1,271.70 in checks of $300 and $971.70.
