Constitutional Sheriff
Honoring the Oath of Office and ensuring the protection of individual rights as laid out in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, will be the first priority when elected Sheriff. We will lead together with innovative ideas and solutions to better serve our community. This will restore faith, hope, and the belief that there is a better future for our families and our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Welcome!
People
"No country can be well
governed unless its citizens as a body keep religiously
before their minds that they are the guardians of the
law, and that the law officers are only the machinery
for its execution, nothing more."
--Mark Twain
I believe in maintaining service before self; doing more
with less; providing fiscal transparency, common sense
solutions, honesty, accountability, trustworthiness,
respect, loyalty, and fairness. I also believe in
community and an attitude of service shown to the people
whom we serve as law enforcement professionals in Polk
County.
Progress
--John F. Kennedy
I believe a law enforcement organization cannot expect to grow and prosper if the skills of its people do not consistently do so. I believe in leading by example through realistic training, innovative ideas, on-going law enforcement education and common sense solutions when issues arise.
Pride
"Surround
yourself with the best people you can find, delegate
authority, and don't interfere."
--Ronald Reagan
I believe that when we promote great leaders, it affects
the work ethic, self- worth and pride of our
organization, which will then be apparent to the people
we serve. I believe Integrity is the most important
thing a man or organization can possess, and with it,
pride and a humble spirit is shown.
