As your sheriff, my mission will be to continue to provide strong security for our citizens while also protecting our most valuable resource, our children. Stokes County has always felt like home to me. There is no better place to live or raise a family in my opinion. As your sheriff, I am committed to doing my part to keep it that way. As sheriff, I will work hard to provide security so that our citizens and their children know they are safe, because the safety of the people of Stokes County is my top priority. I will have zero tolerance for anyone attempting to harm anyone inside or outside of this country. I have become a strong advocate against domestic violence over the years, and as your sheriff, I will continue to fight to reduce the number of domestic violence victims, to combat identity theft, and to ensure that victims of all crimes are not overlooked. I will push for repeat offenders to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
