As of October 7th, 2021, the Fraternal Order of Police Bluegrass Lodge #4 (Lexington’s FOP lodge that represents over 1000 active and retired law enforcement professionals) had indicated that the Lexington community has fallen to a rate of over 100 officers being understaffed. Violent crime is not just happening in other cities, it has taken over the Fayette County community as well. If the City Council can’t support Lexington’s law enforcement community -then we need to individuals that will. I do not think that the greater-Lexington community should be reactive (waiting to act until it’s too late), and we must demand accountability from our politicians and local leaders.

Educate yourself on when to vote, how to vote and who you think will best represent your beliefs, morals, and defend your safety in the horse capital of the world. Law enforcement departments work tirelessly, around the clock, to protect citizens in Fayette County. It would be my honor to receive your vote for Fayette County Sheriff to bring this department into the modern era.
