If elected, Wolfe has pledged to donate his salary to charity, according to a release.
"Our Sheriffs serve our community well, and they deserve someone who has a passion for service and not a continuation of the establishment bureaucracy that has failed for years to provide the type of leadership needed,” said Jay McConville, chair of the Fairfax County Republican Committee.
The race between Wolfe and Kincaid was ignited when former Sheriff Stan Barry announced he was retiring in July.
