We were very thankful for the opportunity last night to listen, speak, and share the stage with all the candidates in the upcoming 2026 Primary. Events like this are an important part of the process and give citizens the chance to hear directly from those who are asking to serve.

Most importantly, remember, this Primary election will determine who your Sheriff will be. Your voice and your vote matter, and this is the election that makes the decision.

For anyone who couldn’t attend, or for those who would like to go back and review the discussion, the full forum video is included below and my campaign Facebook page. You can watch, learn more, and skip ahead to hear from the candidates of your choice.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to attend, stay engaged, and be part of the future of Ashe County!
