Benton County Sheriff

As the current Sheriff of Benton County, protecting your rights and ensuring Exceptional Public Safety remains my highest priority! Since taking office, local crime has continued to decline, and I am committed to building on that progress through strong partnerships with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. I will continue listening to the citizens of Benton County, taking a proactive, collaborative approach to reducing crime to ensure a safe, secure future for families in Benton County. With decades of experience and promotions through the ranks, I am the only candidate with the Proven Law Enforcement Leadership and Training needed to run a complex sheriff’s office. My wife, Kristen, and I along with our children and grandchildren are lifelong Benton County residents. As your Sheriff, I will continue working diligently to keep Benton County safe while honoring the traditional, family oriented values that define our community. I am the only candidate endorsed by the following: Benton County Republican Party, Mayors of Kennewick, Richland, West Richland, Prosser, Benton City and Pasco, along with all three Benton County Commissioners, Benton County Prosecutor, several state representatives, and numerous law enforcement professionals! I am respectfully asking for your vote on Election Day. Thank you!

I believe in God, the Constitution, and the responsibility we all share to protect our families and communities. The Sheriff’s Office should be built on trust, honesty, and service to the people. As your Sheriff, I will defend the rights of citizens, support our law enforcement officers, and work every day to keep Benton County safe; because Benton County is more than a place to live – it is our home. I have seen firsthand the dedication and sacrifice made by the men and women who serve this county. They deserve leadership that supports them, equips them, and stands beside them. I also believe citizens deserve transparency, fairness, and a Sheriff who listens to their concerns. My commitment is simple: protect our communities, uphold the law fairly, and preserve the freedoms that make Benton County a great place to live and raise a family. We will not allow crime, fear, or government overreach to weaken the values that make this county strong. Ready to lead, ready to serve and protect Benton County.
