Michael Moore for Sheriff
• Over 20 years experience in public safety
• Dedication to attack crime and fight drugs
in this county
• Leadership with honesty, integrity, and
careful planning for our future
• Budget control and cost savings stratagies
• Advanced technology to help fight crime
I personally believe we can't continue in the direction we are headed. We
have to work as a team in Madison County. I vow to establish a working
relationship with all government entities. I know that if we work together
we will reach our goals in making Madison County a safer place for our
children. I guarantee you I will be there for our staff and create a work
ethic that is unmatched. I believe in the Deputies in our Sheriff's Office
and will be there with them while serving the citizens of Madison Coun
ty. If you will elect me as your Sheriff on July 26th, 20161 will not let you
down. This election will soon be over and the citizens will decide who
will be their Sheriff for the next four years. I believe it is time for a fresh
start with a different prospective for our Sheriff's Office. Please allow me
the opportunity to show you how I will be a Sheriff of the people!
