He's up for re-election right now. Here's his opponent's campaign site.
Nice. Not sure what to make of his opponent based on the website. No major red flags come up, but I'm sure the people in Portage County probably know him and where he stands on things way better than I do.
OTOH, the website is largely boring and factual, so I'm assuming he may not be that bad? The MAGAts are usually running from similar scripts, and this doesn't seem to fit that.
He's a Democrat and he hasn't made national news for his despicably racist remarks about immigrants. Outside of that, who really cares what the county sheriff's platform is? If I lived there, I'd vote for him.
I live like a thousand miles away but I just donated $25 to him. Good luck man!
Is it normal to know anything at all about your local Sheriff?
I had to do three google searches and then scroll down for a while to even find my local one, then their bio was so dull when I looked it up it was difficult to pay attention to it.
The only thing I know about my local sheriffs is that regardless of politics they are probably trash. Fucken San Bernardino.
Well that's timely. Come on Portage , OH, do your part!
