The State is above the county sheriff. The county sheriff pretty much means they have the satisfaction of being sheriff. Then above the state is Federal. Which is pretty much the FBI and Other stuff like that
The state police are above the local sheriff in any town.
County sheriff

Sheriff is an office at the county level, not at the state level. Texas doesn't have a sheriff, but each of its counties does.

The State Police and Highway Patrol are funded by the state, City Police are funded by the city, or in the case of small towns they contract out to the County Sheriff and have Deputy Sheriffs as their law enforcement. The County Sheriff is funded by the County, or in the case of Louisiana the Parish Police / Parish Sheriff are funded by the Parish.
The Office of Sheriff in most (all?) states is a state constitutional position, therefore they would answer only to the the Governor of the state, or the state Attorney General.
No, each county in a state does not necessarily have one representative. The number of representatives for each county in a state can vary depending on the state's population and the redistricting process. In some cases, multiple counties may be combined into one district and represented by a single representative.
