Attorney General Sam Olens’ campaign said Tuesday that 117 of 159 Georgia sheriffs have endorsed his re-election.

Olens, a Republican, said 60 Democratic and 56 Republican sheriffs have signed on to his campaign, including Fulton County Sheriff Ted Jackson, a Democrat.

A day earlier Olens said 31 of Georgia’s 49 district attorneys have endorsed his campaign.

Olens faces Democrat Greg Hecht, a former prosecutor and lawmaker, in November.
