Today voters across Texas will begin going to the polls to cast their votes for important offices, and here in Bee County there are a number of elections that will truly mean the future of our county. One is for the office of Sheriff.
I am proud of the work I have done as your sheriff and humbly ask for your vote for re-election as Sheriff in the Republic Primary.
I’m also proud to be endorsed by Governor Greg Abbott and former Governor Rick Perry, who recorded this message for Bee County voters to consider:
My service as sheriff has been marked by improved community engagement, from our "Shop with a Sheriff" event to the Junior Deputy Academy, activities that strengthen our community connections. I have worked to ensure that Bee County is on the leading edge of law enforcement and county corrections issues, trends, and technology. And I have actively worked with Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star to help secure the Texas-Mexico border and implement best strategies for combining the efforts of law enforcement agencies to protect Texas and our communities.
I pledge to continue this vital work to keep Bee County safe. Your vote in the March Republican Primary will ensure the continuation of these efforts.
