Election
KEY: D Democrat R Republican *Incumbent
Williamson County sheriff
Why are you the best candidate for this seat?
If elected, what are your goals for Williamson County?
For 39 years, I have protected and served Williamson County, including 21 years as a Texas Ranger. I have the varied experience needed to improve public safety, increase collaboration and lead [the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office] to ensure that Williamson County is a safe place to live and raise a family.
I will run a sheriff’s office that is tough on crime [and] accountable to the public; increase cooperation with local, state and federal partners; improve transparency within the community; focus on new programs to protect our community’s most vulnerable populations; and prevent future failed state jail inspections.

R
I am the best candidate for this seat because I am already elected by the Williamson County voters as sheriff. I have been employed by the sheriff’s office since 1993, except for the previous administration of Robert Chody. I have worked in every aspect of the sheriff’s office.
I will continue to operate within my budget and create cost savings measures like I have done in the last four years, saving taxpayers millions of dollars. I will continue to keep the office transparent and constitutionally grounded.
