Attleboro Mayor

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson's campaign is under review by the State Ethics Commission following allegations of misuse of taxpayer resources in a complaint filed by his opponent in the upcoming election.

Attleboro Mayor Paul Heroux is saying publishing a decision from the state's Department of Labor Relations so close to an election is "downright unethical," after the department found he made "coercive" comments to a city employee.

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson has spoken out against criticism he has received in the wake of the death of Adam Howe, who died by apparent suicide at the Ash Street Jail in New Bedford on Sunday.

Local community volunteer organization Bristol County for Correctional Justice has announced its endorsement of Attleboro Mayor Paul Heroux for Bristol County Sheriff.
