I am a life long resident of Hoke County and I feel that I have the energy that Hoke County needs to make the Hoke County Sheriff's Office one of the most productive Sheriff's Departments in the state of North Carolina.

I am committed to continue serving the people and if I am re-elected, I pledge to do everything within my power to serve the Hoke County community well and represent all people of all affiliations.

I continue to be a Sheriff that is approachable, someone people will feel confident and comfortable talking with, and I will strive to improve the quality of life in Hoke County.

I feel that having a Sheriff who is a law enforcement officer himself, will help to identify with the concerns and problems officers may face. It makes a difference when you have done it yourself.

As a certified Sheriff, a Law Enforcement Officer, there won't be a job that my deputies will do that I cannot pitch in to do by their side.

I will continue to work assertively to address the community's underlying conditions that lead to crime and disorder.Under my leadership, I feel that the Hoke County Sheriff's Office has improved by establishing integrity, professionalism, improving standards and enforcing the laws of North Carolina.

I also see a need to organize more Victims and Youth Assistance Programs, and as I take on the office of Sheriff, I truly understand that being Sheriff is not about me, but about YOU, and I mean ALL OF YOU.

In order for the Hoke County Sheriff's Office to succeed, I need your unconditional support and once in office, I ask you, the citizens of Hoke County, if we are to be judged, judge us not by what you hear, or by what you read, but by what we do for the good of Hoke County.
