He says he intends to continue to serve and protect the citizens of Lee County with commitment, dedication, and loyalty.
Sholl graduated from the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy in 1988.
He has advanced through the ranks of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office since then, serving as Patrol Deputy, Jail Administrator and Chief Deputy.
Sholl was also appointed to the Lee County Narcotics Task Force, serving as an investigator and field supervisor.
Sholl will run as a Democrat in the June 5 Primary. The filing deadline is still two months away.
