Republican primary
The elected Sheriff also has the title and responsibilities of the County Coroner. The marriage of the two professions provides for a more efficient means of providing care to the citizens of Gallatin County and the investigation experience gained by law enforcement officers readily lends itself to death investigations. The Public Administrator is appointed as a conservator to manage someone's financial affairs or as a guardian to make medical and life decisions for people who are unable to do so themselves for a variety of reasons such as brain injury, Alzheimer's, mental handicap, or being under the age of eighteen. The Public Administrator may also be appointed as personal representative in probate cases. Being appointed as conservator, guardian, or personal representative usually happens when there is no one else or there is a need for an impartial person.
