Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura will square off against Republican challenger Orlando Mendez as he seeks his eighth term.
Armando Fontoura was on his way to seeking his eighth term as he easily garnered the Democratic nod for Essex County Sheriff in Tuesday’s primary election.

Seven voters did just that.
