A Democratic candidate for Sangamon County sheriff has announced he is re-entering the race.

Marc Bell announced via social media late Friday afternoon that he will remain on the November ballot.

Bell announced on February 9 that he would leave the race, citing a lack of party support.

Bell remained on the Democratic primary ballot, receiving more than 12,000 votes. Sangamon County Democrats said in a Friday Facebook post that they were excited that Bell decided to continue his campaign.

Bell will face incumbent Republican Paula Crouch in the general election in November.
