There are two big stories to take away from the election results in the Gwinnett County sheriff's race.

One is that Gwinnett has elected its first Black sheriff. The other is that his election likely signals the end of the county's participation in the controversial 287(g) program that retiring Sheriff Butch Conway has long been a champion of.

Keybo Taylor, the Democratic Party candidate, defeated Chief Deputy Lou Solis — who was Conway's handpicked preferred successor — with 226,026 votes, or 57.21% of the votes cast in the race, according to unofficial results.
