“Local voters return Douglas Pierce to office by a razor-thin margin Election results compiled by the Register’s staff Dumont Daily Register NOV. 8, DUMONT WI—In Dumont County’s most closely watched local election, Douglas Pierce appeared headed for a narrow victory in his bid to secure reelection as sheriff. As the Register went to press in Wednesday’s early-morning hours, Pierce maintained a slim lead over his opponent, Lieutenant Daniel Kerr. They were separated by a margin of less than one-h...alf of one percent.
Pierce overcame a flood of negative publicity tainting his campaign when he was falsely implicated in the September 17 murder of Carrol Cantrell. Though the allegations proved groundless, circumstances led Pierce to a public acknowledgment of his homosexuality.
The Register endorsed Pierce early in the campaign, maintaining its endorsement throughout the scandal. Public opinion, however, has shifted radically since the murder, first swinging against Pierce when the news broke, then favoring him with a sympathetic backlash when the crime was resolved.MoreLess
