“I am excited to declare my candidacy to be your next Sheriff. I was raised in Lincoln County and have worked for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office for nearly 18 years. During this time, I have served in all facets of the operation to include dispatcher, corrections deputy, school resource officer, patrol deputy, and patrol sergeant. I am conservative, community service oriented, and believe in the golden rule. I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail and answering any questions you may have.”
