I’m running for Cass County Sheriff in 2026 to bring my experience and leadership to protect our families, keep our schools safe, and respond effectively to the addiction and mental health challenges our community faces. Together, we can ensure every resident of Cass County feels safe and supported. I’d be honored to earn your vote!

After almost three decades of serving Cass County as a law enforcement officer I intend to focus on the following topics if elected:

1. Addiction & Overdose Response: Naloxone Training for deputies, community partnerships, and treatment first diversion.
2. School Safety: Collaboration with schools, having deputies visible on campuses, organizing campus wide training events to ensure maximum safety efforts are being achieved by protocols, and creating a strong line of communication between students, school staff, parents, and law enforcement.
3. Training & Modern Equipment: Ongoing deputy training focusing on safety, meeting all requirements set forth by the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board as well as first responder mental health, updating gear to give our deputies the necessary tools to better serve our community, and furthering deputy career education.
4. Jail Safety & Mental Health: Screening for mental health issues, community reentry planning, treatment referrals, and maintaining safe staffing levels.
5. Policing for Cass County’s Small Towns: Building trust, visibility, and relationships with residents, being present and accessible, proactive crime prevention, timely response and being transparent.
