Bow won the Republican primary for sheriff in May. He is running unopposed in the Tuesday general election.
Kent Keen announced his resignation last week, ending his 13-year tenure. His last official day in office is Saturday.
Bow has been a member of the sheriff’s office since 2011, serving as a deputy, detective and public information officer.
