52nd District State Senator Frad Akshar who represents parts of Chenango and Delaware Counties announces he will not run for re-election next year but instead tossed his hat in the ring to become Broome County Sheriff. Akshar was a captain and undersheriff in that county before becoming a lawmaker. Current Sheriff David Harder is retiring when his term is up. Akshar says he decided to run for sheriff as law enforcement is his first love.
