Government Efficiency and Cooperation

“Too often, government officials become territorial and refuse to integrate resources for the betterment of Citizens. I believe all levels of government owe it to the Citizens to work together and create the greatest efficiencies and working relationships possible.

There can be no territorial fights when public safety and taxpayer dollars are at risk. As Sheriff, I will continue to work to foster cooperation and ensure our operations interface seamlessly with other agencies for maximum efficiency and effectiveness."

Good Law Enforcement Supports a Strong Economy

"Good policing can help grow a good economy. That’s because, we all have a stake in safe neighborhoods, clean streets, and a low crime rate. These things contribute to a healthy community and vibrant economy, which then draws more and better businesses.
Policing can also impact the community by working with business owners to ensure they have use permits and other support, which will allow them maximum opportunity to run a healthy, profitable and positive business. I believe law enforcement should work hand-in-hand with businesses in the community to help facilitate their needs and solve possible problems without being an impediment to good solutions."

Fiscal Responsibility

In our current budget difficulties, maintaining a strong focus on public safety is vital. It is the first duty of government to protect the citizens they serve. Reductions in spending by any law enforcement agency must be targeted to maintain core services such as patrol, investigation, and incarceration.
As Sheriff, I have worked to eliminate waste and balance the budget. A priority must be in creating a conservative budget to help the office weather difficult economic times. Raising taxes on hard working Citizens in Washington is not an option. Our government agencies must learn to live within their means, and must find the political will to cut non-essential programs during these challenging economic times."
