Questions to the Candidates
On Friday July 16, we sent an email to each of the five candidates for
Sheriff. You can see the email here. The email
contained three questions on topics on which we wanted to know each
candidate's position. It also contained the opportunity to ask, and answer,
a fourth question on a topic the candidate felt was important.
We received responses from all five candidates. Below are the four
prompts. Follow the links to the candidate's answers. Note that we have put
answers in alphabetical order. This order is not a prioritization or
endorsement of the candidate's answers.
We hope this forum is helpful in deciding for whom to vote.
Question 1
Many in our county believe that it is too easy to obtain illegal drugs
here and that the Sheriff’s Office is not doing enough. Do you agree, and
if so, what would you do differently to reduce the accessibility of drugs
and how would you obtain any needed resources?

Question 2
For most of us, the greatest threat to our physical safety comes from
intoxicated drivers. Do you feel that the Sheriff’s Office is doing enough
to keep drunk drivers off the road and, if not, what would your office do
differently?

Question 3
As parents, many of us fear that our children will get caught up in
criminal behavior in the county. Do you feel that the Sheriff’s Office has
a role to play in keeping kids on the right track, and if so, what is that
role?
