2018 Jackson County Executive election

The 2018 Jackson Executive election took place on November 6, 2018. County Executive Frank White, who was appointed in 2016 upon the resignation of former County Executive Mike Sanders, and elected in a special election later that year to serve out the remaining two years of Sanders's term, ran for re-election. White faced controversy as he sought a second term, including personal financial difficulties and mismanagement of the county detention center. White won the Democratic primary with 68 percent of the vote and faced only Green Party nominee Nathan Kline in the general election. White defeated Kline by a wide margin, winning re-election with 77 percent of the vote.
