Current Elected Pierce County Sheriff | US Army Veteran | Fmr. Seattle PD CPT & SWAT Team Commander | Directed clearance of CHOP/CHAZ zone

Washington State
I recently filed an initiative with the Pierce County Auditor to change the the Pierce County Charter regarding the sheriff. This amendment would change the name from sheriff department to "Sheriff Office" (office means elected, department means appointed), and it would allow the sheriff to have a legal advisor of his/her own choosing. We are in the process of printing and distributing the sheets for signature gathering. We wanted to include them in the Tacoma News Tribune Sunday issue, but they will not let us. We are printing 20,000 sheets. We need 90,000 signatures. Go to: electsheriff.org to learn more. We need to gather the signatures by March 15, 2027. We want to do this all by grassroots. So we are not asking for money right now. I am paying for the printing of the signature sheets. Go to: electsheriff.org and lets us know how many you need.

If vaccines work (I believe some do) why does it matter if some people don’t get them? If you are vaccinated, aren’t you protected? What about “my body, my choice”? theepochtimes.com/us/judge-u…

If my Dad were still alive, he would be 103 today, but he died in 1972 at the age of 49 leaving behind a 30 year old widow with four boys: 11, 7, 4, and 2. We were living on a small farm, but Mom had to sell it (cheap) because it was too hard to keep the farm going without Dad. Not too long after my Dad died, my Mom remarried. That’s what people in the country did back then. Frank started out being nice, but that changed shortly after the wedding. I grew up working his parents’ farm while living in a two bedroom trailer. I’m not complaining. Just saying how it was. My Mom divorced Frank when I was 16 so I didn’t work the farm anymore. Frank’s parents were good people. I learned a lot from them, especially work ethic. I spent my free time hunting and fishing. I loved it. I remember deer season and all the “gang” was there. We did some poaching and had to outsmart the game wardens. That was fun. Deer and elk season bring back a lot of memories. It’s huntin’ season!

Some of you are not going to believe me, but I'm not worried about that. Normal people will think about this and consider what I post. Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR) have been around for a long time (since 1990's). Why now are we having so much hate for them? First, the name Flock with ALPR is like Kleenex with tissues. In each case there are many brands. So, I'm going to speak about ALPR in general. I'm also going to lump data centers into this, because the hate for them and ALPR are related. CHINA China is behind the disinformation behind both of these. China understands whoever controls AI will control the world. In case you have forgotten or didn't know, China is at war with us. If China can persuade you to hate data centers and ALPR, they can get Congress to pass legislation to curb both, and China wins in the long run. Why ALPR? Because the companies are on the leading edge of technology (AI). Why data centers? Because China believes that when they have AI dominance, they will defeat us without having to fire a shot. So many people are falling for the false information China is peddling. Guess what? China is going to interfere with our elections also.

It sickens me that I feel the need to even do what I’m about to do, but unfortunately this is the position Democrats have left us to. Pictured below is Robert Lough, a sexually violent predator that Democrats allowed to be unconditionally released from McNeil Island. That’s the literal prison island- like Alcatraz- that Washington places its most violent sex predator pedophiles, baby rapists, and psychopaths… all there because they are deemed to reoffend given the chance. How did he get there? Well, Lough chased a young nurse across the freeway and tackled her, dragged her back to his van, then savagely raped her. He then stabbed her through the vagina multiple times with a tire iron. She received severe injuries. He left her for dead, naked on the freeway. The Democrats have refused to reform this system, instead choosing to dump trash like this extremely dangerous parasite into unsuspecting neighborhoods with little rules or no supervision. They want to normalize the psychos. Only one Democrat, Mari Leavitt, can I say has truly cared about stopping this madness. They don’t care if it’s next to your kids bus stop, or playground, or school. They care more about this rapists “disabilities” than the safety of our communities. Total whack job DSA stuff. And if you don’t think it could happen in your neighborhood, guess again. Now Robert Lough is on Facebook, seeking out friend requests to lord knows which unsuspecting prey. Don’t be one of them, keep an eye out for this, because Bob Ferguson, Nick Brown, and democrats certainly aren’t keeping their eye out for you. How many unknowing young girls accept friend requests on Facebook from this predator until you make this a priority Governor?

There are a lot of things happening with the office of sheriff. We have to “reject 53” this November, but in addition to that, we have to make sure the office of sheriff remains an elected office. So, I filed an initiative. We need to gather 90,000 signatures in the next 175 days. Go to electsheriff.org and sign up to get petitions. We will get them to you asap. Electsheriff.org

Read this to keep up with "Newspeak." My favorite new phrase is "high utilizers" (a small group of people responsible for an outsized number of crimes, who continue to churn in and out of jails and courts.) At PCSO we call them criminals, dirtballs, thugs, felons, outlaws, gangsters to name a few, but we don't call them "high utilizers." seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

I'm seriously considering releasing the deputies' video of the little girl killed by the dog. I haven't released it because of all the trauma it could cause the family and the community. I also don't want my video people seeing it. However, all the people out there saying that PCSO is covering up what happened, have a loud voice that is causing distrust in the community. I don't want to release it, but I might have too. Some family members of the deceased child continue to spread lies, and many in the community are believing these lies. There is a lot more to the story, as there always is, but none of it is good for the dog owner. I know many of you want to believe that a cougar did this because dogs are part of our families, but only two people have been killed by cougars in the recorded history of Washington state. If we thought a cougar was responsible we would have had WDFW out here to help us capture/kill the cougar. The dog killed the child so I did not need WDFW to assist. I'm waiting on the ME report that will verify what I have said, but I already know many of you will say the ME is lying also. So, maybe the best thing to do is release the videos.
