It’s Time for a Change Leon County:

There has never been a female sheriff elected into office in Leon County, and I am asking for your support to help make a difference and to be a part of change.

Leon County, it’s time for a change; for too long the local law enforcement agencies have not worked well together. As sheriff I will end this situation day one. We are convinced that basic human needs are the same everywhere and we all strive for the same thing. I want to ensure that this change will serve the citizens of Leon County well. We all want to be able to live our lives without worries and stress.

My No. 1 focus is true collaboration and teamwork. There is no need to waste tax dollars duplicating services – we do not need two of everything. As sheriff I promise to end this practice immediately. The goal is to make a difference, and many are not satisfied with the quality of law enforcement leadership at LCSO. There are so many areas that need immediate improvement such as; the cooperation between agencies, duplication of services which waste tax dollars, petty jealousies, and there is high demand for improvement in crime fighting capabilities and crime analysis through the constant sharing of information. When elected into office, I will also ensure that the Leon County Jail is managed in a professional manner. The cost of the jail is one of the highest single price tag items in Leon County every year. It needs professional attention.

To the women of Leon County, I want to ensure you that our children are safe in schools, focus on domestic violence issues, remove the egos, and build an environment of trust and cooperation.

As Leon County Sheriff, I want to drastically improve the cooperation and coordination of law enforcement in Leon County. The dysfunctional competition between LCSO and TPD has to come to an end; this is something I will ensure for Leon County. The moment I take oath of office, I promise to meet with TPD Chief Jones, city and county leader to start a new era of teamwork. No more secrets, no more co-mingling of money from different accounts; straight honest to God transparency. We can make a difference Leon County. I want to hear what the concerns are, and address them immediately. It’s time for a change.
