OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – It was a win on Election night for Democrat Marco López who defeated his no-party-affiliation challenger, Luis “Tony” Fernandez with 67.2% of the vote to become Osceola County’s new sheriff.“It wasn’t easy you know, a lot of people said I was the underdog,” said López, who made history becoming Osceola County’s first Hispanic sheriff elect.“I don’t think anyone wakes up in the morning and say: ‘Hey, I’m gonna make history today’,” López said the morning after Election Night. “This opportunity to do something better for all people in our community came to me and I took with it and ran with it but never thinking, I’m gonna be the first Puerto Rican Sheriff or Hispanic Sheriff.”Votes%(95 / 95)Born in Chicago to Puerto.
