I am running for Sheriff with a passion for "Fairness, Justice, and
Change". Moreover, I still have a passion to help people. I believe that
as we are all responsible for our actions and ourselves, we are also
responsible for each other. I believe that we are our brother’s keeper.
During my career with the Sheriff's Office, I both applied myself as well
as prepared myself to be a well-rounded candidate for the Office of
Sheriff. I have assumed leadership roles and been elected to leadership
roles since I took the oath of office.
An important part of being a leader is to prepare and prioritize among
other things. Therefore, I gladly assumed other tasks whenever I could
and took the steps to become a supervisor and gain the in-depth
knowledge and experience that I never would have gained had I
remained a deputy.
I prepared myself to be able to take and pass the Sergeant exam and
later the Lieutenant exam and become a supervisor for thirteen years
and part of the administration of the Sheriff's office. In addition, I
gained essential attributes that make me a quality candidate for the
Sheriff of Will County.
Being part of the administration has given me a more distinct and
transparent comprehension of the long term as well as the day-to-day
operations of that office.
Some goals are:
- I will prioritize domestic violence intervention and prevention
- I will be fiscally responsible
- I will eliminate unnecessary job positions
- I will add deputies to the patrol division and the Adult Detention
Facility
- I will improve response times to areas outside the Joliet vicinity
- I will not tolerate financial waste
- I will focus a high level of concentration on gangs and drugs
- Members of the Sheriff's Office will be able to support the
candidate of their choice without the fear of being ostracized or
persecuted.
Thank you for your support
