You should always be able to approach the people’s badge. 

It is your badge. 




When I am your sheriff I will keep my cell phone I now have at my own expense.  [ 423-715-3395  423-715-3395 ] I have spent advertising dollars to publish this number. I welcome your calls now and I will continue to welcome your calls once I am your sheriff. I will not hide behind your badge and avoid your questions or comments and concerns.  You need a sheriff who is approachable by you and available to you. I will continue to be approachable and available to the people. Those of you who know me, know that I have always been this way. Running for sheriff did not change me and being your sheriff will not change me.
