A former Denton County jailer and Marine veteran has filed as a write-in candidate for sheriff against incumbent Tracy Murphree on the November ballot.

Murphree was set to run unopposed in the Nov. 3 general election before 34-year-old Freyja Odinsdottir filed for write-in candidacy in mid-August.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Denton County Sheriff Candidate Freyja Odinsdottir. She’s impressive and even more important, she isn’t Tracy Murphree. This year, she entered the race a little late, so she’s a write in candidate, but don’t worry if you can’t remember how to spell her name.

A week ago, former law enforcement supervisor Freyja Odinsdottir announced she’d be running against Murphree, whom she said has no business wearing the sheriff’s badge.

ORDER A TSHIRT HERE. With the rainbow star!
