Dallas County Sheriff Mike Granthum will not be seeking reelection during the 2026 campaign as he plans to retire. 

According to WAKA, Granthum cited personal finances and his health after having open heart surgery as reasons for his decision. He pointed out that retiring will afford him a better revenue. 

He expressed respect for the department, saying that staff and deputies have done an "excellent job" during his stint there. 

Primary elections are set for May 19, with runoffs to be held on June 16. The general election is Nov. 3.
