“The Sheriff should be in the business of protecting

people’s rights, not restricting them.”   Bill Hunt 2005

2nd Amendment, CCW

Protecting Your Constitutionally Guaranteed Rights!

As your Sheriff, I will issue CCW's to any applicant who is a law abiding resident of the county, meets state mandated requirements and is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm.  To me, personal protection is good cause.

Fiscal Responsibility

The Sheriff's department budget is $800 million. In these difficult times, Orange County told our appointed Sheriff to cut 3% of the budget.  She waited 8 months to find a mere 3 cents on the dollar and her plan was to fire cops.  As your Sheriff, I will streamline the bloated bureaucracy, cut wasteful spending and enhance service and performance for our citizens.  I will reform our jails, reform drug treatment and medical services, feed inmates in their cells, stop senior leaders from spiking their pensions and eliminate take home cars for non-first responders.

Jail Reform

It is the responsibility of the Sheriff to maintain our jails.

I will not release inmates early to save money and expandspace.

I will ensure we keep sentenced inmates in-custody for the duration of their sentence.

I will not lease our jail space to the Federal Government for pennies on the dollar while citing and releasing local criminals back into the community.

I worked every level of our jails and I can change the culture. Morale and performance suffers when deputies serve 7 years in custody on average with no hope of other assignments. I will change this.

I will charge a fee for inmate initiated medical visits and feed inmates in their cells. We will increase jail capacity; eliminate early releases, lower operating costs and reduce the need to build costly new jail facilities.
