Background

Mark's educational background includes a high school education from Sterling Heights High School, a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Wayne State University in Criminal Justice, and a Master Degree in Public Administration from Central Michigan University. He has also trained at the FBI's National Academy and the U.S. Secret Service's dignitary protection school. Sheriff Hackel also teaches at Macomb Community College as well as Wayne State University, and hosts a local cable show called Executive Focus.[citation needed]

Macomb County Sheriff

The previous county sheriff, Mark's father Bill Hackel, resigned after being convicted on April 27, 2000 of two counts of third-degree criminal-sexual conduct.[1] Mark won the Democratic nomination for sheriff on August 8, 2000, capturing 46% of the vote in a 15-person primary.[2] He defeated Republican Steve Thomas in November 2000, winning 52% of the vote to become County Sheriff. Hackel won re-election in 2004 and 2008, defeating Republican Kristi Dean both times. In his 2008 win over Dean, he received 78.4 percent of the vote and set a new record of 314,778 total votes for a county wide elected office.[citation needed]

County Executive

On December 3, 2008 Sheriff Hackel announced that he had formed an exploratory committee looking at the possibility of a run for Governor of Michigan in 2010. He later decided against running for governor, and instead ran for the new position of Macomb County Executive which was approved by voters in 2008.[3]

Hackel was unopposed in the Democratic primary and won the nomination uncontested. On November 2, 2010 he was elected the first ever Macomb County Executive, receiving 66 percent of the vote and defeating Republican Randell Shaffer who had 31 percent and Libertarian Erin Stahl who had 3 percent.[4] Hackel resigned his position as sheriff on December 31, 2010 and took office as County Executive for a 4-year term starting on January 1, 2011.[5]

On December 7, 2010 Hackel named Chippewa Valley Schools Superintendent Mark Deldin as his Deputy County Executive, where he will serve as second-in-command.[6]
