OSSIPEE — A Conway man hopes his third run for county sheriff will be the charm. Domenic Richardi, 52, of Conway, will run as a Republican to unseat his former boss Sheriff Christopher Conley, of Wolfeboro, who is also as a Republican. Richardi ran as an Independent in 2010 and as a Republican in 2008. "I will support and work with local law enforcement and state agencies to bring the necessary
resources to the citizens of Carroll County," said Richardi in his announcement letter. "I will communicate and work with the (county) commission, delegation and other county entities while being transparent." Richardi retired as a lieutenant from Carroll County Sheriff's Office in August of 2010 after 18 years of service. Richardi served under Conley for 18 months. He has also worked for police departments in Conway, Madison and Tamworth. Cursee RICHARDI page 8
