Montgomery County sheri , Republican Primary
What are the top priorities you will have as sheri in the next four years?
How will you work with communities to ensure policing needs are met?
The rst is the border crisis, which has created enormous problems related to narcotics (fentanyl), human smuggling and human tra cking. Secondly, ensure we have adequate resources provided by the court to address the needs of the community. Lastly, we must tackle the struggle of keeping up with local population growth.
As a dedicated public servant, I will collaborate with communities across the county to ensure their policing needs are met. By fostering open communication, building trust and actively listening to community concerns, I will work towards implementing community policing strategies that will reduce crime and fear of crime.
