In the United States, a county sheriff operates at the local level, while a state representative serves in the state legislature. The state representative represents a specific district within a state and is involved in making state laws. Therefore, the state representative is above the county sheriff in terms of legislative authority and governance, as they can influence state-wide policies that may affect law enforcement practices.
