Who are your top three campaign contributors? My money has been raised primarily through small donations from over 100 donors.
Why are you running? I am running to serve and protect the citizens of Madison County by leveraging over 30 years of diverse, law enforcement, U.S. Marine Corps and corporate experience to the sheriff’s office.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? My top issue is conservative fiscal leadership with taxpayers dollars but also upholding the constitution and fighting the liberal radicals’ attempt to abolish our God-given Second Amendment right.
Why should people vote for you? I’m a lifelong conservative Republican and veteran who brings law enforcement, military and corporate experience of over 30 years. I’ll bring effective and much-needed experience to the office, leading deputies and staff, while conservatively managing and bringing spending under control with one of the largest budgets in the county. I won’t take a pension because I’m in this for the right reasons — serving Madison County. I’ll effectively manage the budget, eliminate back room deals where retiring deputies are awarded no bid lucrative contracts while leading with integrity, experience and ethics.
