Each candidate for Clark County sheriff agrees on at least one thing: Drugs are a serious problem here, and the next sheriff must be willing to attack the issue. The race is between Republican Berl Perdue, a Winchester police officer; Democrat William Elkins, a local attorney; and write-in candidate Larry Lanning, a registered Repub-lican. Perdue and Elkins have been the most visible candidates in the race, the former emphasizing his "life experience" and the latter repeating his education as a strong qualification for the office.
