The strength of any law enforcement agency is found not only in its adherence to the rule of law but also in the diversity of its ranks and the equity of its opportunities. As a candidate for Sheriff, I am dedicated to cultivating a merit-based culture where advancements are earned and diversity is celebrated. My vision for the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office is an environment where every member’s contributions are recognized, where career progression is based on capability and integrity, and where our team is a true mirror of the community we serve. In breaking away from outdated traditions, we can champion a new era of law enforcement—one rooted in fairness, respect, and an unwavering commitment to just and unbiased service.
