Few out LGBT candidates have generated more excitement than Hamilton County (Ohio) Sheriff candidate Charmaine McGuffey. This is because McGuffey, a Democrat, is far and away the most qualified candidate for the job, and also because during the Democratic primary, retired deputy McGuffey defeated her former boss by a huge margin. He fired her because she is a lesbian five years earlier. The race has garnered national attention.
"I began getting calls from people of Hamilton County who asked me if I would run for Sheriff. When I got those calls I began to take it seriously and I realized I could do a better job." -- Charmaine McGuffey.
