for leadership you can count on

Because Richmond deserves excellence!

“I am running for Sheriff of Richmond because the failures and ineffective management over the last seven years have put the safety of our community at risk and have undermined the integrity of The Richmond Sheriff’s Office.

As a public servant and community leader I understand the importance of public safety, fair administration, and effective leadership. I pledge to maintain the trust of the citizens of Richmond by bringing high standards and integrity to the Sheriff’s Office. I believe that Richmond deserves excellence in the administration and management of our jail.

I ask for your support and vote
on November 5, 2013.”

She believes in raising the standards of the Richmond Sheriff’s Office,"because Richmond deserves the highest quality of administration and management. Richmond deserves efficient leadership in our jail.

She has assisted in the administration of the jail’s implementation of multi-million dollar budgets and has supervised several hundred staff members.
